Goods wagons

When the observation carriage was purchased there were several other items of rolling stock in the lot. There was a second carriage and two goods wagons. A large van and an open wagon, similar to the ones on the Lynton and Barnstaple railway. In a rare twist, I do not want to repaint them and feel that their appearance is perfect to represent some well worn goods vehicles. The problem is that they only have one bogie each. I am simply going to purchase some new bogies for them and reattach the brake pipes, so they can be included in mixed trains maybe. 

I have begun the process of re-bogeying the goods van with some bogies from one of the budget model railway carriages. I will need to source some Dundas bogies for the open wagon, as I don't want to be drilling through the floor of the wagon too much.
