Walling looks good where did you go for your course? Done a bit of it in my time.
I note that you haven’t fitted the “triangular reinforcing plates”, part 5, to the machinery wagon. If you check the photos in LNER Wagons Volume 2, pages 118 & 119, you can see that these should be struts rather than plates. You may already know this but ....Thanks, will get there in the end.. It's getting a lot better with a little fettling over the weekend.
Quite keen now to get this wagon finished before back on the F5 running. Couple of evenings should see it done and dusted. Currently ready for testing on Crosscombe tomorrow night.

It looks good but it's very RED. I'm rather intrigued by the long bent handrails and the long locking bar on the righthand doors, it makes it something slightly different from the norm. Do you know what the reasoning behind these long door handles were?Happy with the results though..
