Wagons Roll

Another rubbish weekend weather wise has resulted in the only railway activity being some restructuring of the wagon fleet. The rake of Lima 16t mineral wagons has been strengthened to twelve wagons, half of which have now been weathered, half to go. The ten Lima long wheelbase wagons I've got aren't really UK outline, however three are in the livery of NCB Cardiff, so I'm treating them as private owner wagons. I might reduce the long wheelbase fleet a little as ten won't even fit in the sidings. I've received some replacement buffer beams (Heljan) for the two class 33's so at some point will have to replace them. I've also got the Loksound speaker, Uhlenbrock sound chip and Lenz Gold motor chip to fit to the 47 at some point.
