It was never my intention to buy a Hattons Warwell, but a reduction in price tempted me, and I have to say – very impressive. I have given the pair a light weathering only.

Lobitos Tanks + 1
Another story of buying from the Dapol Sale and liking the wagons so much I purchased another to make a rake of three. I re-numbered the new wagon and decided to make it a bit dirtier than the original two.
Banana Vans + 1
As stated in a previous post I purchased some items from the recent Dapol Sale. Well, I was so pleased with the Banana Vans that I purchased another one to make a rake of three.
Further Work on Pointless Layout
Since adding my first post on this project, I have continued to progress the layout. All back scene boards have been added and an extra inch added to the front of the layout to set the track a bit further back and to pin the curtain to when finished.
I have added extra space to the fiddle yard to hold a couple of wagons awaiting use, I have also added a board to partly conceal the sector plate.
I have purchased a goods shed (Lcut Creative), Coal Merchants Staithes (Skytrex) Four lever pad (Scenecraft)
Next Job electrics.
Dogfish Loaded
Just added ballast to Grahams O Gauge Dogfish. I let some of the ballast dust fall over the ends to add a little realism for spills etc.
Four Wagons for Graham
Here are four wagons, three made by Graham and one purchased by him. I have painted, transferred and weathered three of them, but just re-weathered his cement wagon purchase.
Both the Bogie Bolster and the Dogfish are Brass kits – the runner wagon is a re-worked Slaters kit.
