In the middle of last week the latest edition of my G1MRA Newsletter and Journal arrived.
and low and behold there were some GWR Coaches and a wagon for sale. For those of you in G1MRA will have seen the sales and wants page and know what I'm talking about.
So there were 2 passenger luggage brake vans either K14 or K16 and 1 wagon listed as a 6 wheel closed cattle wagon. I rang the person up for more details and he emailed me some photos. It turned out the cattle wagon was in fact a 6 wh Milk Siphon. He was selling them from the estate of his late father.
I decided to buy the Milk Siphon after getting him to measure it to find out what gauge it was and to find it was a 1/32 scale model also an etched brass model in 1/32 for £75 is a bargain!.
So here's three of the photos I received after I'd purchased the model.
