Greetins all,

I'm working on a Small Goods Wagon for my dio. This in an 0 Scale kit and as such a bit small, so I am going to use it as a narrow gauge wagon.

My original intention had been to paint it in Southern Railway colours which are Dark Brown. However, as it's role in life has changed I was thinking of just greying down the outside a bit more and leaving it as a plain wooden wagon.

Any thoughts?



Cheers

Al

I think that just greying down the wood a bit would do fine - a lot of narrow guage railways did not have a set livery for working vans, just left as plain wood.
