Well that's a bit of a surprise! Filling the gap left by Accucraft in the ready-to-run wagon department, I guess.

I can foresee a MWS PIWS wagon or two appearing on a garden railway somewhere not too far from here,

Ordered 4 of them, all different livery.

Should be available soon.

Will see if Accucraft couplers can be fitted easy.
