It will end in tears before bedtime

Now if you had put a LSWR van on one side and a LBSCR van on the other, that would have impressed me.

What the heck, I'm impressed anyway. Have a good break!

Now that's what I call a hard audience :-)

A good opportunity to evaluate the liveries. Design-wise, I prefer the older ones.  Smaller letters tend to look better on wagons in my opinion. But less visible from afar of course. It's interesting how on several companies the trend seems to have gone from small(er) letters to large(r) ones to small again over the decades.

Of course I've just realised, with reversible wagons, if I decide to standardise on Sprat & Winkle couplings I'll have to put hooks on both ends if I only put loops on the loco... Every silver lining has a cloud

I thought your last few vans had Kadees?  

I'm struggling to keep up, honest.

Hi Ian, the first one did, but I'm also going to make up a couple of S&W couplings and see which one's look best and work well.

 

It's taken 50 plus years not to build a layout, a few more weeks messing about surely can't hurt... can it?
