Isle Of Man Goods Stock

[GHWood]

Transferred over from the other side, some pics of the scratchbuilt goods stock I have been beavering away with over the last three months or so.
Firstly a covered cattle wagon, and a standard IMR covered goods "G" van

 

[GHWood]

Next the "G" van with a standard (although standard was hardly ever applied to anything Manx!) "M" open wagon

 

[GHWood]

Now an Ex Manx Northern Covered ventilated van "Gr" the (r) denoting ex Ramsey line

 

[GHWood]

Another variation of the "G" van, commonly known as a mongrel, the portholes used when carrying livestock

 

[GHWood]

An open "K" wagon for transporting cattle, all of these wagons and vans were mainly constructed from the humble coffee stirrer, running on Accucraft W/L wheels and axle boxes. This wagon being an exception, as the running gear comes from Bradypus Enterprises

 

[GHWood]

The "Empress" van, a bogie brake used for the conveyance of luggage, when the Island had a booming tourist industry, and also according to popular legend the vans were used as emergency ambulances during the TT races

I think I need an "H" class open wagon and a fish wagon to complete the set, and then of course there is/was the legendary "Kipper" van
