A Big Update Part 4 - Flat Wagon

This wagon from Phil Sharples varies from the others slightly as it uses a Binnie Skip Chassis instead of Phil's own design.
The parts ready for construction to begin.
Apart from the task of cutting the axles to length (which is quite easy) the chassis falls together.
The top is just three parts, two that fit in the top of the chassis and then the top with its panel detail.
Whilst the chassis got a couple of coats of matt black the top was treated to a very diluted coat of black indian ink . The scrape marks appeared after the ink was applied.
Metal hooks were added and the wagon was ready for service. Now it just needs a load of some sort.
