G Scale Slate Wagons

[Gareth]

Well after a long absence and problems with this forum I am Back Oh and work has something to do with it !!! Rest assured the workshops on the LG&BR have been quite busy ! So to it . I have being toying with slate wagons for a long time and having popped up on numerous occaissions to the National Slate quarrying Museum in Llanberis and also been exploring the Dinorwig quarries I came up with a couple of designs none of which is a true prototype just a representation so I do hope you like

Good to see slate being carried on the wider gauge; wagons have a good proportion too

That rake looks really good.
In close up waggon (note the archaic F.R. spelling) 74 is my favourite.

Oh yus, that makes a smashing train. Good job.
