BY and CCT nearly there, detail added and paint touched up.

Parkside kits had reasonable detail to add on underframe, the BY has a lot more equipment (battery boxes, vacuum brake equipment etc. because of the guard's compartment.

These vans are intended to run on the layout so I want to fit tension lock couplings. Parkside provide "twin peg"  parts for the older style Mainline and Bachmann couplings to fit onto.  I do have some spares of these, can only find 1 at moment... (I know I took some off trucks etc. when I fitted 3 link couplings) they are somewhere in a box in loft and not in my large "couplings" envelope for some reason..... Also have some NEM coupling fittings, plenty of spare nem couplings,  just got to find those as an alternative.  I have plenty of time for that, for some reason.

Next one, BR CCT. This is a Hornby Thomas the Tank Engine one that I repainted a while ago in BR maroon, using Model Master transfers. It's got SE Finecast windows and Roxey mouldings window bars. It needs a new roof though. That's been a little tricky, more in next episode.
