I have now finished painting my three high-sided wagons ...
... and five flat-bed wagons.
They were painted with Humbrol matt enamel paints (Desert Yellow No.93 and Black No.33).

Hi Bob
ReplyDeletevery nice wagons! I'm a MR / LMS man myself!
I hijacked Tim Gow''s blog the other night and - I hope you don't mind - but I wanted to ask a question of you also. I've recently bought Neil Thomas's "One Hour Wargames" book - designed for six units a slide, on a 3' X 3' table, and the book offers multi scenarios ( many based on the old C. Grant book of that ilk) - my question: have you come acrosss the book?. If so, what do you make of it. The games are apparently designed to be played in an hour!. I've just painted up a 3 x 3 MDF board and so I shall have a bash - I feel the same thrill as I felt when my dad bought me Donald Featherstones Advanced Wargames for my 14th birthday ( I think it was) - my first ever wargames book. Just hope I shan't be disappointed. Good uck with your loco - motivation! Best regards Ken
Ken H,
ReplyDeleteI was brought up in the LNER area (I used to travel to school on part of the old LT&SR) and live in the old SR region now. I have always loved steam railways and I am always looking for opportunities to use them on the tabletop.
I own a copy of the book, and although the rules are not quite my 'style', they work and the scenarios are more that a little useful. In fact, I hope to use some of them in the near future.
Good luck with your forthcoming battles. I am sure that you will get lots of enjoyment from them.
All the best,
Bob

ReplyDeleteAs Bob says the scenarios in the OHW book look very useful.
I'll be giving them a go later this year.

Ken H,
ReplyDeleteWell that's two votes in favour of the scenarios!
All the best,
Bob
