Having seen Sam's Trains review of these low price wagons I thought I'd get some. However being a tight Yorkshireman I thought I'd save a bit by getting the kit version. These are sold as a kit to build 2 wagons and work out at about £6.50 per wagon! Be warned however that the kits differ from the rtr ones in having plastic wheelsets rather than metal. The kits are supplied with Roco style HO loop couplings but have NEM pockets so I changed the ends of the rake to OO couplings. All 8 of mine came in the same grey plastic. I decided to give them a dual identity : one side is dark grey to represent a leased rake of VTG wagons similar to those used on stone trains around the Mendips. The other side is mainly brown but with grey and orange end panels to represent iron ore wagons. I know these are not the correct wagon for either of these trains but they suit me and my budget.
