The guards van for the narrow gauge railway in Wombat Creek is finished (OK, almost finished. The body hasn’t been glued to the chassis). The 3D printed body and chassis has been painted and extra features added like the ‘brass’ doorhandles. They are a striking feature on the original wagons.

Van no. 2 was built in 1899 and lettered N2BDBD . A very impressive lettering painted on the body. I liked it very much, but it was changed to 2 NBC in 1910, so quite a few years before the van turned up in Wombat Creek. At the same time the lettering was moved down to the chassis. Also, my version has a step all the way across the doors. Then built a shorter step only reached halfway across the doors.
