This project started out as this a peco N gauge brake van in the BR civil engineer livery and looked like this-

A small piece of planking piece was added on the inside but I quickly realised that you can't see the interior so I didn't bother adding any more details on the inside. The foot-boards ( I think that's what they are called) were painted brown with Humbrol Matt 186 as a saw I think a Southern pill-box brake van in the same livery with brown foot-boards. A peco unpainted figure was then painted to be a guard but I don't think it is the correct uniform but it doesn't bother me, was glued in place on the veranda at one end. A P and D marsh white-metal lamp was then added to the back or the same end that the guard is standing on and the centre painted red with Humbrol Gloss 19 so it is correct red for the lamp that is placed on the end of the train. It was then weathering quite heavily with DCC concepts Black weathering powders and then sprayed with a matt varnish to finish it off and seal the weathered powders in. The weathering is definitely not the best but I am happy with the weathering and every thing else on the brake van that I have added. It now looks like this-
