Oxford Rail Pilchard. These were very much a North Eastern type but one did make it to the WR
and worked out of the CCE sidings at Swindon to various parts of the WR over the years. When
photographed at Barry in the 1980s it even sported half a WR ‘CO’ roundel so this was included
in the repaint. Some weathering and old ballast inside completed the reworking of this very
nicely moulded model. The EM conversion wasn’t, however, straightforward as the wheel sets
featured a shorter axle and slightly smaller diameter wheels, so the very useful H&A Models
axle drill was used to increase the depth for the longer axles, as well as removing plastic
from the underside of the chassis to take the extra diameter of the Gibson wheels
A Cambrian Sturgeon A. This carries several lengths of rail hauled on board by the winch
from the rail set. It makes for an impressive wagon but does take up a lot of space!
