A little something I knocked up today...

...in between going to church, having lunch, going for a run and hovering the house.
It's a Cambrian Models LSWR 10 Ton Van (the roof is only resting on it atm as I need to add weight to it yet).
It's a great little kit with loads of detail and went together well (I accept the half hour I spent fettling it so the corners joined, may well be due to my cack-handedness). I bought some Bill Bedford compensated W-irons, but the one piece floor, solebars and W-irons seemed to sit so squarely I decided to keep them for another project, time will tell if that's a sensible decision. The only thing I'm not sure of is how long the buffers will last (they're made up of 3 parts and feel a bit fragile) and I might look at sourcing some brass of whitemetal ones if they do break.
All in all a fun little project.
The only issue is I've got 2 more vans in the pipeline and I either need to start building some open wagons or work out what traffic I can load at a quay that needs to be in vans.
