OcTRAINber Wagon 04
I've not been entirely happy with the Hythe Pier Railway baggage trolley as my entry for the Industrial Wagon category. Although it's definitely a wagon I'm not entirely convinced that it's sufficiently industrial nor that it's competition standard.
So I've gone back to the drawing board, back to my original inspiration and designed this covered tipper used in large numbers on the Guinness Brewery railway system to carry malt and other dry ingredients for the brewing process.
This is very much v1.0 as I'm not completely happy with the shape of the lid or the end supports. It's also hard to get any real idea about colour, as very few colour photos exist of these little wagons and those that do seem to disagree. Even the black and white images suggest that there was a wide variety of shades in use, so I think I'll just freelance it and just go for what I think looks best.
