Just a short entry this week.

This is a project that has been going for several years, with breaks in-between as I did other things on my model railway.  However here is the end result – my Scale Seven model of a Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway 6-wheel flat truck (Diagram 31).  As you see, it’s carrying steel girders in my model.  I like the appearance of the chains holding them down!

I’m pleased with the looks of the end result, although i still need to do some work to get it to run smoothly over my trackwork – the true-to-scale wheels have very small flanges and the trackwork is a little rough, so it’s difficult to get long-wheelbase wagons to run well enough.  This wagon is a case in point!
