Then there were eight!

Well, following on from yesterdays post about the four second hand/pre-owned/pre-loved Hornby R6424 ARC Tippler Wagons when I said I thought that I had four more of them, I actually found them in the first box I looked in! I now have eight in the rake!

That Makes a fairly impressive train.

Although the four I found are in pristine condition they do look OK with the weathered tipplers from normally viewing distances. However get closer and you certainly see the difference!

  A job for another day prehaps!

A Rare delivery to WMD!

If Mrs. Woody is reading this, a rare delivery of some model related items (as I don't buy many model things!)  to WMD. In this case some Hornby ARC tipplers.

They are second hand, or as is the current trend, pre-owned or pre-loved. They were weathered by The Model Centre and I bought them from there as well at a very keen price.

The weathering is nice and gives that well used and worn feeling to them

There are four of them which makes a nice rake.

And behind a pair of weathered Class 58's they look even nicer!

I do have another four of these tipplers somewhere that I bought second hand/pre-owned/pre-loved about 15 years ago which are in pristine condition which should contrast with these weathered ones, or maybe inspire me to weather them!
