Title: Scratch-built wagons by Leigh Hulatt
Post by: Retiarius on May 04, 2020, 13:39
I have just received three beautifully hand-made hopper wagons for my H0e layouts. They have been made for me by a new member of the Society, Leigh Hulatt. They are in my opinion, on par with commercially produced models and I am looking into having some custom-made decals prepared for them in the near future.

Yes, he really seems to do good work.  He's done two flatcars for me with real wood decks.

Very nice indeed Andrew. I am sure we will hear more about Leigh's modelling skills in due course!

I don't think you are supposed to "like" your own postings however!............................ ;D

Oops! Technically I didn't and the system prevents that ..... but I had got the wrong 'hat' on when I was testing whether I had set 'likes' available on the board......I must be more careful in future LOL

Anything to boost his count!  ;) ;D

Nice models, though I hate to think what they cost...

He did me two flatcars for 35 quid, but I assume the hoppers are dearer.

Leigh generously charged me £64 for the three hoppers without decals including postage. I think that was an excellent price and I am very impressed with the quality and consistency of build. I am currently getting some custom decals made for them.
