GWR Branch Goods

 Just another quiet Branch line goods train,  GWR #7711 has the duty today.  She's quietly passing through Windrush Junction & the brewery,  trundling along the fine Somerset countryside.  Just another day in paradise.  A slower,  serene pace of life.

Shunting the brewery

From last weekend, here's the BBR Peckett shunting the Brewery siding. A quiet lazy Sunday.

MM1 MR 1 Plank wagon completed (almost)

 A miserable wet winters day on the Oregon coast,  has at least allowed me time to complete the construction phase of the Midland 1 plank wagon.  Very happy with how it's turned out.  Couple little things could be better, but I'm not a nitpicker.  Now comes some tidying up, painting, lettering & weathering.

MM1 MR 1 Plank wagon progress

 Some more progress has been made on the MM1 Midland Railway single plank wagon kit.  I'm already getting excited about the possibilities for an interesting load.

Ready for the off !

The little Peckett is ready to begin shunting the brewery.  The driver will need to proceed with caution by the level crossing.  Shunting maneuvers will require several passes.  I'm sure the motorcoach operator is thrilled !

MM1 Midland Railway 1 Plank wagon

 A new year,  a new wagon project.  It's been quite a while since I've built any rolling stock for the railway,  and I've missed it.  For a Winter project I selected the MM1 models (former JLTRT range I believe) Midland Railway 20' 6" single plank resin / white metal wagon kit,  ref # PWW1.   This kit has been sitting on the shelf for years,  time has come to enjoy it.  I like the variety in goods wagons,  and this ones longer length will break up the string of standard wagon lengths nicely,  plus an opportunity for an interesting load,  perhaps a boiler or a ....... ?  Any ideas leave a comment.   Early days in the build.
