Expanding the Wagon Fleet

 A new pair of bogies arrives from DNC!

I fitted the new bogies to the driving wagon, which now has the handbrake operating on both bogies.

For the first time, there are two bogie wagons operational.

I also fitted new bolsters to the ballast wagon so it could ride on bogies when required for ballasting duties.  The bogies from the utility flat wagon will be transferred to the ballast wagon when needed.

The wooden frame for the ballast wagon received a coat of paint as well.  Additional spacers can be added between the steel bolsters and wooden frame, if required, to fine tune the clearance between the discharge openings and the rail, which determines the quantity of ballast delivered.
