2 ton iron coal wagon
2 ton iron coal wagon kit by A Knights Work
My Easter 2006 project was a 2 ton iron coal wagon kit by A Knights Work which I purchased a couple of months ago to test my soldering skills - or lack of them. It's all brass and does not fit together particularily well (the wagon floor seemed very undersized) but after a lot of trial and error, filing an filling I was able to make a decent enough wagon out of it. I added coal and Greenwich couplings and a very rusty paint job and now just need to add some lettering and it's done. A good holidays work - though my soldering needs a lot more practice!
