Hi guys, I've dragged this one back up to show off a purchase I made today of a C&S short gon. The wagons that started this topic off are good, but todays purchase is, well, marvellous for £26. Check out the brake wheel and the nice thin brass rod it sits on, the steps and rails are all metal and it rolls along as smooth as silk. An odd point is the shot showing the short and long gon, different animals but they have the same number. The shop also had a couple of wheelsets in, just enough to finish off and give me all metal treads. Some new USA cars in as well I noticed and they had metal wheels as well! The world does turn.

Apologies, a poor pic but you get the idea...........and yes, the coupler is body mounted!
