2 more vans during lockdown
Firstly, I've finished off this Dapol kit of a 10 ton meat van. Runs well and now has 3 link couplings. (Middle link needs a bit more of a squeeze, I've just noticed).
And at the other end, one I've previously finished, an exGWR cattle van built 1925 that was converted to a fruit van in 1940. still running until early 1970s. This one's In earlier freight bauxite.
It started off as a really tatty old Hornby long wheelbase cattle wagon that I was given.
Plastic strips represent the planking that was added along the open upper section top of the full size van.
New doors fitted. Hole in end of roof filled. Hornby metal spoked wagon wheels fitted.
Cost? nothing! (Apart from wheels paint and transfers that I already had. Oh, and the 3 link couplings).
