They look superb Rod. Dare I say that they look a bit British for a railway called the Sierra and South Western?

These are for my 16mm live steam not my logging line

The bodies are built using 3mm and 1mm Birch ply and Limewwod strip in various sizes which I purchase from Cornwall Model Boats, all detiling parts are obtainable from PPS Steam Models.
Hope this helps.

Re:Latest Scratch Build

:clap: They are brilliant, as someone has said the detail is superb. The rivet/coachbolt detail is awesome. I for one would love some more detail on the construction methods and even better if you took pics. I notice some unpainted wagons in the background I would love to see these too.

Great job :D

Regards Garry

Beautiful work, love the closed cattle wagon with the open padlock on the upper doors,
Grant.

Made them so they fully open. Hope you like them.
