With too many projects on the go, I am suffering from an irrational urge to start several more and so I have just ordered myself one of Fred's new open wagon kits. I haven't finished the box van(s) I got from Fred yet but somehow I feel the urge to have a 5 plank open wagon, not least as it is a wagon type that I don't yet have in the fleet, excluding pre-grouping repaints.
Here are a couple of pictures, one of the built kit unpainted and another showing the completed job.
Mindful of the great PMV race of 2016 (arf arf) is anyone else going to have a go at building one?
I'm going to try and turn it around fairly quickly so that I can use it for some more weathering practice.
The kit is complete and costs £133.00 from Fred Phipps, contact details as below:

This post is also a bit of a shameless plug for Fred - if he sells a few more kits he'll be encouraged to make something new!
For anyone contemplating dipping a toe into G1 then a Fred kit is about as high fidelity as you can get.
I should declare that I am a friend of Fred's but otherwise have no interest in his business, he's a very pleasant and talented individual who has created much joy in the world of smallish trains through his wonderful kits.
