I think it's neat anyway and it's my railway !!

With that rocketing cost of rollingstock I'm quite pleased I started kit building. The current Bachmann BR std brake vans

are coming out at close on £21. No denying the quality, but when the same Liverpool shed has the Dapol (ex-Airfix) brake van

going for just £4.39 it's worth trying. I feel I'm an experienced plastic model maker so decided I could afford to invest in a

Train-Tech module at £15. I bought the flicker module AL2, O.K I got 2, but only one used at present in the Dapol van.

Here it is with the LED glowing on the lowpower output. Easy enough to cut off pins & solder onto dolls house twin flex.

There is a second output that has a yellow LED which I used to light up the van interior. Still have to fix the side step boards

and find a suitable way of having a secure, but removeable roof to replace the battery if/when it needs changing. They do

have a movement detector and switch off when no movement, either stored, or left in a siding for a while.

Oh, behind that is a Cambrian Kits Southern Borail wagon with some 60 ft lengths of new rails ...... Wagon building won't save

you much money, but it'll add interest to you stock !!
