Maintenance Wagon Fleet

I have acquired quite a few scruffy LGB wagons over the years which I've converted for maintenance duties on my line.

I've spray painted these in 'Sunset Yellow' aerosol paints brought from The Range.

However, the large areas of yellow paint needed some sort of markings. My railway stock has a lot of DB liveried vehicles, so I thought about getting some transfers made. I arranged with the proprietor of Emdon Valley Transfers when at the Llanfair Show early in September to get some black DB logos, having used some O Gauge white ones (from another supplier) on a LGB red side-tipping wagon.

These arrived this morning and I have applied a pair to a OW truck.

I'm very pleased with the results and I'd recommend Emdon Valley should anyone be looking for bespoke transfers....

Next LGB wagon to be done is this US style 4 wheeled caboose, which was originally red.

I replaced the cupola roof with a European style one. The chassis already had centre buffers, so it fits in with my other stock.

I've fitted a brush under the wagon to sweep the 3 foot clear of any debris. It doubles as a crew and tool van....
