Well for the current MGR project anyways. I've really enjoyed putting this rake of wagons together and have to say I'm pretty pleased with how they've turned out considering they are based around Hornby's original hopper design. I'm sure that their newer versions are far more accurate, but they are also far more expensive - commanding ridiculous prices on some of the popular bidding/buying websites - so the fact I used what I already had and have detailed and painted them myself has meant I've saved a heap of money (even taking into account the bits n bobs I've purchased) and also a rake of wagons that no one else will have.
So the final 6 have gone through the Cradley Bridge Works, been weathered and couplings fitted - all that remains is to fit the real coal loads and that'll be another long term project finished and put to bed.
I'm in the process of building of building a photo plank so as to have somewhere a little less cluttered than my workbench to photograph my finished projects on. Once its ready, this rake and a weather worn Heljan Class 58 should look the business!
