A Big Update Part 3 - Runner Wagon

This small wagon will form part of the PW train which will eventually be hauled by the new LAT loco which will form a future posting.

It is yet another Phil Sharples kit and goes together wonderfully.
The kit is nicely packed.
The kit of parts ready for assembly to begin.
With the main body assembled the bearings go in ready for the wheelsets to go in.
With the wheels and top rails added the wagon is almost complete.

The side panels finish it off nicely,
This wonderful little kit got to this stage in a couple of hours and would have been quicker had I used a fast drying glue.
With its paint and coupling hooks on the wagon is complete and usable however I want to add a load and some weathering.
The side plates are a bit flat so I added some plastic rivet heads for some relief.
A nice parcel from SLR models included some useful tools. More of the other bits in a future post.
The tools placed on the wagon look good and just need painting and a bit of rust
With the tools painted and aged they have been fixed down to the wagon. I Decided to use the shovel instead of the rail bender.
So that another wagon on the rails (I also added some lead weight to make it run better).
