Two New Wagons

It's been a bit quiet on here lately.  Very busy work schedule and catching the flu has delayed some of the BBR projects.   I have been able to work on a few wagons.  First is a Slaters Midland Railway 5 plank wagon,  nothing special here,  except this is my first MR wagon for the railway.  Second is a salvage job.  A badly damaged secondhand white metal 2 axle GW "United Dairies"  milk tank.  Luckily I was able to put it all back together,  and with a new set of wheels with straight axles,  she looks pretty good.  Always liked the 4 wheel variant.  I'll probably add a Dapol 6 wheel one later on.  I plan on operating my railway with 2 different time periods,  1907,  and 1937.  These milk tankers will of course be restricted to the latter.  Hopefully I can now get on a roll and start some more projects soon.  Now where's that soldering iron ?
