Brake block wagon, ready for the road

Just on a month since I purchased this kit, it has been painted and decaled, ready for traffic:

The railways had a bogie wagon that was modified for the same purpose and maybe it will be a project for the future. It differed from the 4-wheel version in that it had a raised section in the middle and the floor sloped towards the ends and was coded VZBF in V/line service. In typical Victorian Railways fashion and like the HZB it was modified from an existing wagon the railways no longer needed in regular traffic:

The next project has already been started and a blog post on that is coming sometime later in the week.
