Managed to find time to get 2 "new" old wagons restored and ready for service on the BBR. First is a nice LMS refrigerator van, built from an unknown kit I presume. Purchased second hand it only required the wheels to be re-gauged, and a few details added. I may not weather this model as it's going to be a fairly new wagon in my era.
The next one must be ancient, mostly wood construction, perhaps a CCW kit ? I do like the older kits even though they may not be totally accurate or have "finescale" details. They just have character and I enjoy the heftiness. This model required a bit more work to get into shape, with no brake detail or side steps when acquired. This Fruit D van will come in handy during harvest time for the strawberries :)
