I built this a while ago but did not complete it as I did not have any livery details.

There is a version with single brake shoe each side and one with British 4shoe brakes.

I also need details of the Aussie handwheel (or handcross) brake with shoes on the outside of the wheels for a more modern version.

G'day Ian.

The NSWGR painted all their goods rollingstock black. Black body. Black underframe. Black running gear. It might have started off as gloss black but it took no time to appear in all shades of flat black & grey.

Boring perhaps, but it didn't require cleaning!
This colour scheme stayed in vogue until the NSWGR became the PTC of NSW (in the late 70s I think) & changed the corporate livery to PTC Blue.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers,
Dusty.

I have finally got around to finishing this wagon.

there are 3 shape variations....
2shoe brake, UK style 4shoe brake and Aussie clasp brake.

And 3 liveries
dark unpainted, light unpainted and black.

However you can cut and paste swop bodies between the ace files or repaint using the included PSP selections.

I have also included the TSM files.

The TSM folder also includes all my wheels and various other bits and bobs.

The download will be available for 1 week.
I have no objections if Russ wants to add it the this site permenantly.

After unzipping copy the wagon folder to your Trainset folder then open the wagon folder and move the Common.Loads to the trainset folder.

Hi Ian,
I wish to thank you for all your models I have.
I rather like your War Department Chemical Tanks.

Use what you want from the wagon and the textures.
Thats why they were included.

I don't know much about Aussie wagons but I'm sure there were others on the same chassis.

Many thanks Ian. Very Happy

Im sure some of the up and coming modelers will find these most useful.
Files are now listed in the freight wagon download section.
