After going to a railway exhibition last Saturday (23rd May), and buying some
books, I was inspired to build some new wagons.
I added working features, such as opening doors, as well as SNOT lettering.
Most are real UK wagons but I also did the Awdry character “Scruffey”.
The new plate modified 1x2 with bar on end is quite a useful piece for
drop-sided wagons. Black droid arms are useful for supporting the tubes
underneath. The tubes represent parts of the brake gear and supports, but
working brakes might have been overkill :classic:

There are 4 wagons, the first picture of each here:

LMS 5-plank open wagon with lime load and opening side doors:

Includes some open-door and underneath pictures too.
Hope you like them.
