built CQFY container wagon with a mesh deck it still needs
some finishing touches.
shunters steps and air hoses came from Modeletch. It would be great if someone
made some modern wagon codeboards but I guess everything is going RTR these
days and not enough of a market anyway I will have to get some made up and
put some container locks on the wagon because I don't think i can bring myself to
cover up the mesh deck with a container or two.
Till next time

Before i go one last pic of a real CQFY
G'day Mat,
ReplyDeleteOnly 7 CQFY wagons have the mesh deck. They are normally open skeletal design, but 7 went to ARTC for sleeper work, and they meshed the deck so perway staff wouldn't fall through the wagon if they had to access the timbers or strapping. Those 7 also had sleeper cradles fitted, and were welded along the side sill.
Nice model!
Cheers
WF
Thank you for the information and kind words
