An October Workbench update - reloaded

About a year ago I converted a standard G-scale LGB goods wagon into a 'transition' wagon with standard LGB-couplings in one end and with a 3-link coupling for my Live steam locomotive in the other. This arrangement let me run standard LGB rolling stock behind my Live steam locomotive, and to combine wagons fitted with LGB couplings into a rake with cars with 3-link couplings. 

Even if this has worked smooth through the last year I was not so happy with the car-load I added, as I felt it was a little too 'casual', hastily made up with items I had at hand at the time. Besides the repainted LGB-barrels I added have started to flake heavily. Since I was not too happy with this load, I decided to remove it and make some other items to load this wagon. The new load was re-scaled and 3D-printed from files for everything BUT Garden Railways. To further improve the look of this wagon I also added the rod from a steel hanger and bent it to make a stand for tarpaulins:

These 3D-printed items looks much better when painted I think:

Since this wagon will most likely be a part of a military train, I wanted to give a hint that it might be loaded with something that might be a 'secret weapon' of some kind:

The single soldier on this months workbench is part of a bigger an quite time consuming project. Please follow for updates as he will re-appear in a future blog post.
