Ragstone Models GER Wool Wagon

I managed to move an even longer term inhabitant of the workbench a bit closer to the finish line this weekend.

 
I first built the basic kit back in May 2015 but I have only just got around to finishing the transfers. At the time Adrian Marks advised me that at grouping these ended their days in departmental service and as such never received LNER livery, hence this one will be finished in a very scabby GER livery.

A superb kit with all the brake gear being lost wax castings rather than etches.

The only changes I made were to add the tie down rings from bent brass dressmaking pins (I annealed them to bend them).

Before the mojo deserted me and in between building the G5 (pretty much in the thinking time when I needed to work out the next step) this just about fell together – It’s a GER Wool Wagon from Andy Beaton’s Ragstone range that I picked up at Telford last year during what seemed like a GER frenzy (I ended up with 3 GER wagons, one D&S, this one and a Powsides GER 5 plank open).

I have a couple more of Andy’s kit’s in the stash and if they go together like this one I will be very pleased.

All the strapping and brake gear are lovely brass castings and a dream to fit.
It will be finished in very faded and worn GER livery as part of my engineers fleet.
