-=== Instructions / assembly information ===
+Starting with the wagon, it's a fairly simple case of priming it and repainting. It was old and worn (edges chipped etc), so couldn't really be left:

-=== Parts ===
+Engine was built and a few simple mods added - the front exhaust stack was removed and smoothed off, and a few grab rails were added to mimic the look of the German train... nothing fancy, as it's the scenery and aircraft that are the stars of the show, not the train itself.
+Next it was primed and then the main colours added; using Army Painter Speedpaint Grim Black, and a mix of Vallejo Bloody Red and Gory Red to get a desaturated red for the frame and wheels to match the German wartime colours:

-=== Decals ===
+Now it will need details picking out, and the cab finishing.
