Just in case!

Passing by a model sop, I took the opportunity to restock the WMD Stores with a few sundry products. However, being a model shop it is always worth looking around just in case!

Lying in a pile of second hand wagon boxes, I found this. Now although the box looks a bit battered, looking at what was inside made me think that the contents had never been out of the box.

 The content was a Bachmann model of the British |Railways 45 ton bogie well wagon. Not something I had see noted as being a Bachmann model before but an unusual wagon never the less. At £12 it did seem a bargain so was added to the pile of sundry products as Mrs. Woody rolled her eyes!

Back at WMD HQ unboxing the wagon confirmed my suspicions that it had never been out of the box as the plastic protective packaging was still sellotaped shut. Taking it out of the packaging revealed a very well modelled wagon.

I was really impressed by the decals as well such as this one on the side.

So, well worth having that just in case look around although I doubt that Mrs. W will ever see that!
