New this year in the Graham Farish N gauge range are an LMS 30 ton 'Bogie Bolster C' and a BR BDA 80 ton bogie bolster wagon. Three versions of each are initially planned and this first one is the LMS model in BR grey livery and numbered 'B943405'.

It is another well detailed wagon with two fitted bolsters and three loose ones to add if required. There are two girders as a load and 16 loose black plastic bolster pins - at least, I think there were 16, but now I have only 15. These pins are extremely small and difficult to handle. Be careful not to cough when they are loose in front of you. They are most easily picked up on the end of a damp finger but getting them into the holes provided is a young man's sport. I managed to get one in (as per the photo) but the second one went zinging off somewhere, I know not where. I suspect that it disappeared down between the keys of my keyboard. Anyway, I now have 15 which is plenty.
