Continuing with my 1960`s Airfix kit theme, here are two mineral wagons complete with working drop doors that will provide a coal scene in Cole goods yard.....eventually!! Underframes are as mentioned before...........

Now this is an ex LSWR van in BR livery which was used as a tool van in Southampton. I`ve used modellers licence as I`m sure it MIGHT have travelled down the S&D and stopped off at COLE on a pickup freight !!!!!!

 

Now the body of this van is from the 1970`s and is from the Maple Models range .....Is there anyone out there that knows what material these kits were produced in ??

Yes! Dental resin at that. I bought four, but only this one has survived until now. Even when the body sides and roof are Araldited together ,the resulting wagon is only as strong as a ginger biscuit, so if you drop it, it will shatter into a thousand pieces, which is what happened to all the others !!!!!!
