Transporter Wagons

You might recall a few weeks ago I cast a few of my flat DZ wagon kits for Himself to use for the 'dismantled Garratt' feature. 

 

He's made them up, painted them, and the various parts salvaged from a ruined Backwoods NGG16 are now in place. 

I think the bogie is particularly effective with those massive fly cranks fully on show.

   

The boiler is a bit of a compromise.

It's still got all its cladding on because otherwise we might as well scratch build it because the barrel would be thinner and the dome is much less pretty beneath.

It's not usual to see them painted in red oxide like this, but is does break up all the black.

As he's got most of the layout up in the garage for tree planting I'll suggest he sets up a picture of the complete train so you can see the full effect.
