Construction progress & tipper wagon

The tramway extension is slowly coming along, the weather has been unkind just lately so progress is slow.

Weather has been rather iffy

The point removed. White powder is ant killer as there was an ant nest under the point.

Blocks in place, track will follow when I get fishplates.

The railway has gained two new tipper wagons build from Phillip Sharples kits. The pictures tell the story.

The chssis is a simple box with the wheels running in a specially printed plastic holder that forms a side of the box.

The chassis completed

And with wheels in place

The body begins to take place

The body supports in place under the body

 

The chassis is painted and the body is complete with its working door.

 

Body and chassis together and ready for finishing.

 

Complete and ready for weathering.
