Walsall Model Industries Shunters truck

The WEP (Now with Walsall Model Industries) compensation units are execellent I have used them under a few of my builds.

 

On the subject of WEP GWR kits, I do have one of them.

During WWI the war department built 9 transverse gas tank wagons to a GWR Cordon design and a pair of them were subsequently acquired by the Great Eastern Railway. They were ultimately transferred to the North eastern Area of the LNER.

The other kit that I may buy at some point is the WEP GWR Grain van. This is because the first grain vans that the LNER had were to a GWR design before they started to build their own. This is very much a back burner project because Chris doesn't like the look of the WEP Grain van and I do have three of Jim's GER examples to build first.

Returning briefly to the subject of shunting poles I found some better photos of the ones that I made






They were made from cocktail sticks, the shafts off some brass pins that I had used the heads for rivets and some half etched nickel that was in the spares box.
