I bought a wagon yesterday at Lincoln - it's now built!

See: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/mdltrly/beerwagon.html for the full story!

You should try the Andel little flat waggon, he suggests superglue so you don't even have to wait for the glue to dry, think I buit one in about 10 minuites!

The problem was PVA on the planks - wouldn't allow the ink to take - hence the stain.

Superb, although if the Ezee range is also aimed at younger modellers, I don't think "Barney the Beer Can Wagon" would go down too well with the parents

Love the weathering, has it got a rusty chassis?

It's still a good weathering job, as the wagon looks as if it has been left out in the wet and damp for a long period of time

I would have thought wagon with beer would go down better for the parents than it would with the Kids.

I have a feeling that after being carried on one of these wagons, beer or pop might be just a little "lively", if you know what I mean!

I get many coments at shows about the vinegar transporter wagon. Many people say
"Oh thats a good idea..... for beer!"

Now all we need is a salted peanut wagon and we are sorted!
