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.
