A Big Update Part 5 - 3 wagons at a time

I had three Phil Sharples kits to build and as they are nice and simple I decided to do them all at once.

One is an open wagon with removable ends that will form part of the PW train, the other 2 are oil barrel carrier wagons.

The three kits as supplied.

The three main chassis assemblies glued up and drying.
All three with wheels fitted, time for the bodywork.

The open wagons ends in place with their runners glued on.
Just to prove I didnt glue them in place :-)

The barrels wagons are also ready for the barrels to be glued on and then weathering added.

The open wagon is also complete.
