I wanted to introduce fish traffic. I am modelling 1949/50 so I thought insulaed chilled wagons would be good. On the Association second hand shop I found a Bemo long wheelbase wagon that I snapped up. It looked perfect so I bought 2 more and resprayed them marine blue. Made some self adhesive postors and had some decals in black made. Taking the ex LMS T type wagons as inspiration the filling boxes were fixed to the roof. Lids were fitted and some perferated brass cut and fitted as walkways. Now the roof boxes can be filled with ice and fish from Halsferran can be sent off. A couple of coaches are being made to add to the train. These 3 wagons are now finished and suitably weathered. Below are some photos.
