Stanier Brake Van & boards

Evening all

 

I've sorted out a shortage of fitted brake vans highlighted at the last show with a view for York next weekend. Always amazing what a deadline does. It was made up from a Connoisseur kit which has been lurking in the cupboard for ages. Sprung with Bill Bedford w irons and packed with lead.

Also gave the R&H a run out this afternoon. It's a flight of fancy really but will end up being a works shunter. I'll probably paint it red (it's going to be called James) though it really should be blue or yellow.

Boards are also ongoing for Clevedon. The main board is done and has a pair of folding legs which interlace and are contained under the board top. The other boards, being a variety of shapes and sizes piggy back off the main one. All board tops are done but not all the legs are finished yet, so I can't post a shot of the entire set up.

 

Anyway, photos attached. Now back to the wheel cleaning...

Some more fantastic work, I really would like to se Wheal Elizabeth in the flesh however I'm away for the York exhibition do you have a list of where it will be appearing?

 

Also Could you show some more pictures of your base board legs and construction at all?

Hi Josh993

Thanks for the comments.

 

Wheal Elizabeth will be at Epsom (end April), Scaleforum (September), Thorncombe (darkest Devon in Nov) and Wigan in Dec this year.

I've got other bookings all over the place until 2013. Heaven only knows what the layout will look like then (or me for that matter).

 

I'll post some more piccies when I can
