Very nice rake there Glencairn :) , and a very good price for limited edition private owner rolling stock too!

I've added lead inside my containers as it's easier to hide than on the conflat itself to give the wagon some weight. Plus it's easy to swap the containers over keeping the same weight of the wagon. :idea:
Thanks

Thanks End2end. As a supporter of Medway Queen P.S. I buy the wagons from them. I like the idea of them cooperating with 35011 General Steam Navigation Restoration Project. Sales help both projects.

As for weight inside the containers? The wagons are not as heavy as others I have. A definite yes and another job on the to do list. :lol:

As some members know I support the preservation of the paddle steamer, 'Medway Queen'.
She will be 100 years old in April this year. Built at the Ailsa Shipyard the new railway wagons for 2024 are the following -----
