Thanks for posting that - you are building quite an eclectic collection of wagons there - it'd be great to see them all together. There's quite a few tempting vehicles in the Dragon range so I'd be interested to hear your views on how well they go together.
Hi Adrian,
I will see what I can do about a group photo.
Regarding Dragon Kit's, I like them, they fit together well and I haven't encountered any major errors in them.
Chris is also very good to deal with - he has just let me have the extra bit's to make a 3 tank version of the NBR gas tank wagon.
I do keep being pleasantly surprised at just how big a range George Dawson (Majestic Models) had, besides those which are in the Dragon Range the tender truck from Connoisseur is one of George's and Chris also bought me a couple of wagons from Gladiator which are from the range too. These are an LNWR/LMS beer van and a GCR open with a tarp rail (which from the line drawing on the box, looks very much like the example that Tony West posted recently). I do hope that they and the rest of the Gladiator range find a new home when Geoff retires.
What I haven't mentioned about the Avery van is the really nice lost wax castings for the horse hooks - on my as tank they were white metal and I managed to melt one so I ended up making some from scrap etch. I plan to ask Chris if he will sell me some of the brass ones for my 3 tank version.
