A couple of notes on the details.

Sadly, my local model shop didn't have lamp irons in stock. As i am prone to impatience i fashioned the upper side irons out of plastikard cutnintonthin strips and welded at a 90 deg angle. The lower one were made from brass handrails i had left over from another build. 

The safety rail for the veranda is 0.3mm wire.

The vacuum pipe arrangement is made from 0.8mm brass wire and a springside (i think) steam heat pipe i had in the odds and sods box.

Priming came next which exposed a couple of rough areas to be sorted before painting.

Nice work especially with the removal of the handrails and adding the metal replacements. 

 

The Dapol brake van kit is a very good value kit and worth every penny.. 

 

Cheers,
