Molto bene Massimo!

The loads look very good and the attention to detail is impressive, especially the rust finish.

thanks you,
the effect is more impressive then difficulty to do the job. I just pasted waste material ... straws ... nets ... small pieces of model ...rails... pins ... primer gray and then black paint...when dry iron paint and then I used the kit Lifecolor rust and dust.
I think the better thing are the cubes of iron (something like crumpled cars) made with aluminum foil.
The job is amusing and the cost is almost 0 â,¬ that correspond to 0 pound circa... :D

Excellent modelling and great attention to detail. :thumbsup:

I often see the real life scrap trains on their journey from Handsworth West Midlands to Cardiff tidal docks.
The usual consist is x1 class 66 (the latest one I saw was 66007 in EWS Livery) and x18 MBA wagons.
Hope this helps. Great looking models :D
