Rolling Stock



Most of my wagons will be of the 'Parkside Dundas' 21Ton coal hopper variety, I will be using two versions of hopper wagon, PC77 and PC78 (re-bodied) pictured below. I need to build about 180 of these hopper wagons for the colliery, staithes and upper and lower reception sidings.
This wagon is only partly constructed, the door handles, decals and hand rails still need to be fitted then the wagon needs weathering.
Couplings will be Bachmann 36-027 mini tension lock.

As you can see this wagon has been fitted roller bearings, a choice of bearings come with each wagon kit.

21T HTV Hopper, painting, decals and weathering still needed.

Hop21 trial decal, needs changing to
HTO coding then painted and weathered.



 








Below is my Dapol 15Ton diesel crane with runner wagon, as you can see the crane chassis has be converted to make the crane more prototypical. The Dapol kit comes with two bogies for the crane which don't look right to me so I purchased an A4 tender and altered it so the crane baseplate would fit neatly onto it's new chassis. Some hand wheels and an additional ladder have been fitted.

Crane Runner Wagon

The crane runner wagon is a converted Bachmann Bogie Bolster wagon, a handrail has been fitted to one end. The Yellow tool boxes were simply made from Plasticard and glue into place.
This wagon would benefit from some tools lying on the wagon deck and maybe an oil drum or two strapped to the handrail.
