This is the next wagon project, after this it should locos and coaches. Well, I do have a pair of ballast wagons that may creep in at some point.
The SER had 50 built by Brown Marshall in 1863.
The pictures show the under frame that I've built in styrene. It's not possible to buy this size of Evergreen Strip (N0. 403 in 24" lengths) in this country and I've had to order it from Canada. If anyone knows of a source on the Continent, it would save me paying the import duty . Holes in the buffer beams are for draw hook, buffers and safety chains. The ones in the middle two braces are for the draw hook spring system.
