Good progress has been made on the tank wagon over the weekend.

Everything went together nicely with the tanks held on in prototypical fashion via the strapping. The only bit I changed was the pipe fittings that come out of the ends of the tanks. There are nice castings supplied but I doubted that I could solder in a piece of rod for the pipes without melting the fine whitemetal tube so I modified a pair of Connoisseur clack valves – Once lost under paint and weathering they should suffice adn stand a bit more handling.

With a bit of luck I should have it on it’s wheels tonight.

Here are a couple of shots of where we are to date – it still needs some cleaning up though.
