Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the feedback. I'm inclined to think I could get away with that the more I look at it.
Re the wagon I got it from a place Called Parkside Dundas up in Scotland. It comes in plastic kit for and you build it up. It's quite a detailed little kit and designed to run or rails, althoug mine will be static.
Here's the web address if your interested:
http://www.scalefour.org.uk/parkside/index.htm#NOTE The chap who runs it is called Richard. Postage was £1.00 and he sent me a free introductory token for a qiud that covered that :-) :-) He has an email address which you'll see if you visit the web site.
It has buffers, transfers etc. The instructions are quite detailed and need a good read first, although I'm not sure about one part but I'll work that out..
Cheers
Al
