Hi - like the video - I've been putting together a 15' WB tank kit today and found flash on the weight (!) which had to be filed off before the couplings would sit right. Happy kit building!
No, but sheets of numbers can be bought for whatever era you want to set your layout (LMS, BR etc). Modelmasters do sheets which are easy to get hold of.
Sounds like a good solution, you're right they do need extra weight..liquid lead under a fake load is another way with some of them, though for the tanker wagons it's a little more tricky :)
Found some boxes full of model train magazines after the annual train show here in the USA in the trash pile..They came home with me.. Inside was a article that said you could split in half a old lead fishing sinkker and glue it to the bottom for extra weight.
Great little wagons. I'm an OO gauge man but I enjoyed watching this.

@bluecoatscheesypoofs thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks!
They are between £3-4 each, the cheapest I have seen them is on the Hattons site, hope this helps
I am very interested in collecting these. Do the wagons have the wagon number written on them?
I like model kits they're so fun to build! sadly there aren't as many kits of continental Europe railways :/
How much do these cost?
where would you buy these
Both ehattons co uk and gaugemaster com sell them. I am sure others do too.
