To fit them is very eazy it just remove the screws that hold the weight in place  put in the interias & replace the screws

To my mind this is much better, the others appeared to me to be a bit garish, this is nice.

The latest photos look very good. I think the colouring of the coach has become very subdued and natural. Excellent result!

Yup, I'd agree with Hugh - these look excellent. When I've time I'll be repainting and weathering the five I've got although for the short term they look pretty good with the loco.

OK' so they're perhaps not quite right for a Welsh narrow gauge in the '50s but who cares! They look good on the occasional excursion, on my own version of the 'high line'!
