Using the drawings in Jim Snowden's seminal work, "Met Rly Rolling Stock", I have produced resin bodies with WM Axleboxes/springs and accurate LT-type Lost wax buffers for the 1890s build of 9ft6in WB 3-plank wagon as well as the 9ft WB 5-plank high-sided open goods and the modified version with 6 planks used as Neasden power station ash/slurry wagons.
These bodies are designed to fit Bill Bedford's sets of etched W-irons and etched brake gear; These now being readily available from the Eileen's Emporium website. Slaters 7120 wheelset [3ft 1in split-spoke] is the preferred wheelset.
A cruelly-enlarged picture of the completed test build dressed up to look like the preserved 3-plank wagon at Acton is below.
These wagon bodies will be available through Radley Models imminently if not sooner.
