Hi J-P, glad you've made it - that is the D&S kit and to here on the new, different, RMWeb. Have you found the 'Roaring Forties' area yet, in Social Zone > Groups? Hopefully 'Buckjumper' will be adding your Blog to the quick-links post in there.

Interestingly, this van also has the springs inside the axleguards as does the Dia. 120 Pigeon Van. Did that create any particular challenges in assembly, and have you fully sprung the axles?

PoA

Brian Haresnape commented that he discovered a wide variety of browns from burnt sienna to dark umber brown, dark chocolate and even dark yellow ochre on LNER stock. Bottom line - mix up a brew and you won't be far off.

Done.

Thanks for the welcome chaps, I have built it with the kit designed rocking axle compensation as it's built to F/S, their's a cradel to hold both axles behind the springs if that makes sense, the easiest way of building it to S7 would be with working leaf springs.

In a effort to save ??3:25 postage on a ??2:00 pot of Pheonix paint I've ordered a can of Triumph Russett Brown from Halfords cost ??11, where's the logic in that?

Update when I get the paint on Monday. (Could'nt be mixed in store as contains lead)
