July: Cardigan Mercantile This 7-plank wagon was originally done by me in 2002, but 2010 marks the 900th Anniversary of the town and hence I plan on re-doing the wagon bearing the number 900. As such it really is not authentic, but many of you will not have had the original one.
August: Carmarthen & Cardigan Railway (F) This is a van to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the original railway company that opened its first line from the South Wales Railway at Carmarthen, to Conwil station in 1860. The original intention was to get to Cardigan, but it didn’t happen.
September: September: Ministry of Munitions This 7-plank wagon has been requested by the Banbury model railway club for their show in September. Based on wagons from Addersbury near Banbury.
October: Tonfanau Granite This 4-plank wagon was based at Towyn, mid-Wales - one that I am always getting requests for.
December: Another Christmas Idea As normal I will be producing a wagon for your loved ones to give as a Christmas present. I wonder what this one will be? This will be done in N and 00.
