First of all - this is not a 'serious' project, rather a bit of fun between other projects.

The van body is made from .040" plasticard and the bufferbeams and solebars from 1.5mm x 4mm strip. W-irons (compensated), axleboxes and buffers (not yet fitted) are MJT, wheels Gibson, brake shoes from a Parkside kit with the safety straps replaced with ones bent from staples, v-hangers and brake levers from a Mainly Trains etch. Some pics;

What's it going to be? I'll show you in part 2...
