That looks very nice indeed. If you look for original Airfix kits on Ebay, the mouldings are a lot crisper, and the plastic is less 'rubbery'.

Thanks for showing your work on upgrading the Presflo wagon - I picked up several made up versions cheaply off eBay a while ago with intentions to improve them, and invested in a Bachmann model to act as a ‘template’ to aim for, but seeing how you are doing it step by step is far more helpful than me simply staring at the Bachmann model and saying to myself “That’s different … and that … and that!” 
 

Is there a way for me to save/download your blog entry? (Was well and truly bitten by the RMWeb Server Disaster as many ‘upgrade’ threads I was following lost all their images and haven’t been restored!)

@SteveyDee68 I am not sure how to save or download the blogs. You could try going to print then printing as a pdf? This will save a digital copy. It may pick up all the adds etc and make for an untidy page but it might work. 

Thank you @cctransuk. I might explore this as some of the part are warped in the new kits. Possibley due to this soft plastic? Not having metal wheels isnt a problem as the Dapol ones are awful (although I maintain these kits a excellent and hope they dont go away).
