These will be issued as repainter's kits with texture maps and basic instructions to let you paint your own wagon.

Make your own personalised wagon for fun or an authentic private owners wagon apropriate for your favourite route.

It's up to you.

Nice wagon-really captures the feel of those wooden bodied 4-wheelers. :)

realy it's because there were so many of these wagons that it would be too hard to find a typical one.

I'll do a BR version and leave the rest to others.

Just lazyness realy.

Almost ready.

Wagon is complete with all the repainting files for PSP.

Just got to write the instructions.

This one took 15 min to paint. Note the plank lines and strapping edges showing under the lettering.

Is it easy to repaint the wagons with the lines still showing underneath?

It is if you use the method I've used in the repaint pack.

You'll kick yourself when you find out how easy it is.

Here's another one...........

Should be ready tomorrow.

Wagon ready for upload.

I just need someone to test the instructions.

Someone who has PSP but has little experience of repainting to see if my instructions make sense.

Hi Ian,

If you need any more testers, I would be happy to lend a hand, having the required qualifications.
