Spent most of the day running live steam on my own. I had a great time with "Willi".

Those wagons really suit it. They just look a bit new:

Now Doug, that is how I intend to have them looking in due course. I've had them for a good number of years. The plastic shine as gone, but I want them to look almost worn out.

Thanks Klaus. The CFR is very much a team effort. We have plenty of talent who are prepared to give up their time as necessary.

Those are great photos Casey - Willi looks just perfect as 7/8ths scale. Those wagons are just right too - what are they?
Cheers
Chris

Chris, they are the LGB side dump hoppers that appeared in the "Feldbahn" range. They are like "Hens Teeth" to get these days.
I'm going to rust these up to give a well worn effect.
