Some of our Dundas slate wagons are more than 25 years old and starting to get a little brittle.
This weakness is most apparent around the very small axleboxes which have a tendency to break off.
The wheelsets are also showing their vintage with the plastic wheel centres shrinking ever so slightly and allowing the tyres to moves, affecting the back-to-back measurements.
The question is whether to try and fix them up or replace with new.
Himself has discovered a pack of 3 tonners in a drawer and made them up just in case.
