Some more wagons and stuff

Hi,

Finally finished my Wemyss Private Railway brake van after finding some suitable decals. The photo shows it at the end of a rake of Wemyss coal trucks. Now all I have to do is finish my WPR Barclay 0-6-0T for the other end.

Also put some decals on my Bedford coal truck. I also repainted one of my wagons as a PO Wagon in the samer colours os the coal truck. I may do another 2-3 of these.

Once the decals were applied to the wagon I let them dry for a couple of days. With a sharp knife I then rescored the plank detail over the decals, so that when I went to weather the wagon the black wash ran along between the planks. The end result looked like the writting was painted on rather than being a decal. Well that's the theory anyway. The photo should show what I mean.

Regards,

Alex
