I've also picked up two 4 wheel wagons to convert into the adaptor wagons so hopefully here next week and I can add the high level buffers and brake hut.
The first company to offer them as models will have the girls' train market cornered.

Adaptor wagon in progress. Need some buffers and to make the main load brackets. Probably add a brake hut for the brakeman eventually too.
Regauged the fire tank to standard gauge as it should be really. This just involves removing the pivoting axle units and making some plastic bearings to slide in the back of the axle boxes. The wheels are retained by wire looped around the frame and axle. Easy to revert to 45mm as no mods required to the chassis on this one. They usually use the Rollwagen for these two wagons but it goes on the Rollböcke ok for now
Cruel but true.But it needs buffers and different brake hoses, no?
To be fair to Paul and LGB, a standard 4w Tank Wagon has just been repainted and lettered. Perhas a better option if Value is to be retained might be to make a new Chassis and mount the Tank on that. The other changes could thus be incorporated without trashing the Wagon. The original chassis could then have a new body made for some other Wagon. Sorry Paul another bucket full of work suggested!

Adding buffers is in the plan
There are two slots in the buffer beam I can use to tab them in. I need to pop up to GRS and get bits first
