Since this is a very common LGB wagon and I have so many other identical wagons of the same type already, I painted them slightly differently than the others. This one was simply spray painted grey and drybrushed:
With the second wagon I decided to make even greater variations by removing the axles and replace them with bogies in stead, suggesting a wagon for heavier loads. I got a couple of leftover bogies from my previous project:

Excellent wagons. Love the bathroom picture of you washing them, a first😊
