What you get in the box. Nice heavy brass and 3d printed containers.
I had to add HH spring irons too, and the match the curve - it almost happens magically.
And the wagon assembled. It all fitted well.
The kit is supplied with 3d printed springs, which is fine but I do like Hobby Holidays working leaf ones. How they go together is really neat.
All four done.
How it looks underneath.
Ready for paint.
I was a bit surprised when I came across this kit. I had one of these wagons with my first train set back in 1964 and I'd always assumed it was fictional. Even having worked for BR I never came across one, or even a photo. So this was a must have :-) A nice kit though I did replace the buffers and as mentioned the springs. The containers are 3s printed and do have visible ridges on the tops, I couldn't file them (too hard) so left them as is, After painting and weathering you can't actually see them. Transfers are from Cambridge Custom Transfers, wagon and containers. Shackles from Slaters.
