The flat wagons definitely need some toning down though, so it's out with the weathering powders.
A stiff brush is required to really work the powder into the balsa planks, and I like to introduce a bit of variety into the colours. It's not difficult, and makes a huge difference to the final look of these little wagons.
Some lead flashing under the floors, and the wagons are ready for the track. I think I might fit couplings as shown on Monday, but these will look nice behind one of my locos. We just need a brake van to complete the set.

It is unlikely these would have run with a brake van, as such, more likely is that the rake would include somes skips with extended frames and brake gear. Oddly, models of such skips are available in 7/8ths scale, but not, AFAIK, in 16mm https://www.lightrailwaystores.co.uk/collections/kbscale/products/wa000b
Good point. Building one of those braked skips would be an interesting project. Mind you, I still fancy a brake van. One day.

Locoremote print three types of brakes. Skip
I have one of his 7/8ths braked skips, is there a 16mm version?
Yes, the 16I'm stuff was before the 7/8ths, I too have the 7/8the ones,they take a bit of filing down to look right
