12T Rectangular Tank Wagon

 No,  this is not your typical Slaters 12T Rectangular Tank wagon !  The tank itself was handmade from wood back in 1974.  I inherited it before it reached the dustbin after the maker passed on.  Not knowing what to do with this nice tank,  I hung on to it. Until one day,  a Slaters kit showed up on ebay,  a 12T Rect tank.  BUT,  it was Missing the Tank !   What's more it was dirt cheap and in the US,  so I easily won the bid.  Here is the finished model,  married to the handmade tank.  It appears they were "meant for each other " :)   Little modification was needed and I think the overall wagon looks okay.  Different names were used to get 2 wagons for 1,  "Walkers"  &  "Shell / BP"

Saturday Snaps

 Operating fun at Windrush Junction today included a 77xx departing with the morning goods (& an interloper), followed by the afternoon arrival of the Autocoach with the classic 48xx !  A new luggage trolley has been added to the station.  There's nothing as relaxing as a small station in the countryside of Somerset in the 30's.
