GER Sand Wagon – another nice kit from Connoisseur

Posted on by

Next up is another one of Jim’s goodies this one the GER/LNER Sand Wagon. This is the only kit of Jim’s that I have built so far that has compensation built in.

I built it straight from the instructions, the only change being that I only added brake gear on one side. Parts are provided for both sides.

Having looked in volume one of LNER wagons at the couple of photo’s in there, I couldn’t make out a second set of brake gear.

Next on the workbench is a Welcome Wagons BR Pipe wagon.

I am building this to sell – Sadly I didn’t read the description too well when I bought it, homing in on the LMS design rather than when they were built. So it’s a bit late for the period that I model.
