Local lads Anthony & Billy watching BBR #1 Manning Wardle shunt the goods yard on a quiet summer day. Bill is asking across the way to signalman Frank Peacock if he can visit the box & pull a lever ?

S&DJR Wagon Project 2
Continuing on with the S&D peat wagon kit, here's the wagon after the first layer of Tamiya primer applied. It's slowly coming together.

S&DJR Wagon Project
A new rolling stock project. Somerset & Dorset Railway 5 plank 8 ton 1911 Peat Wagon kit from Furness Railway Wagon Co. Priced at £50 not including wheels it's a bit expensive compared to Slaters / Parkside. It's the first resin model I've built, and overall I'm quite impressed. The wood grain on the 1 piece body does look good. The solebar was lacking some details which had to be fabricated from sheet brass & card. I did the best I could & should look okay after painting. A few parts not included in the kit were salvaged from the parts bin including brake hangers, which considering the price was a bit disappointing. With basic construction completed, it's off to the paint shop.
