GWR/WR Herring P22 Hoppers in P4 part 1
Not much going on at the moment due to the house going on the market, but the tinking table is still working of sorts via a travelling modelling box. On the go at the moment is a rake of 6 ex GWR P22 hoppers. These are a straight build from the Cambrian kits and when finished will represent a fully loaded stone train. As they'll also be filled full of lead I'm not too worried about springing or compensation, though the pin points have been filed down a bit to induce a little slop. One was completed as a trial and uses buffers from Lanarkshire Models. The others are being built in a batch
The empty rake is another story. That will be from 6 of the Rumney models kits and will be sprung. The aim of all of this is to have an empty rake that gets pushed into the McAlpine stone loading point in what would have been the Cheddar West siding before reappearing fully loaded. Or something like that as the exchange will actually be conducted via the fiddle yard.
