What type of couplings are you going to use on this Chris? I see you have used the new cast buffers, what do you think of them? I was rather impressed compared to the old wm ones.

Nice job Chris. Its tiny compaired to the N gauge society vans because they are horribly stretched in just about every direction.

The N Soc. kit is an overscale model of a slightly longer van in a slightly larger scale, so don't worry - and don't use them together!

The new buffers are fantastic - really well cast and a breeze to fit. I didn't actually realise they were new though!

I am using DG couplings.

 

Jerry - it looks small even against the association 5 plankers... even against the 1/160 Spinner model.

 

I must do a bit more research on MR wagons - I have forked out substantially on carriage books but nothing on the freight side of things.

 

Cheers,

 

Chris

Fantastic job chris

 

Found these a bit of a pain when I first made one so well done, the dimensions of these kits check out fine against drawrings I have so don't worry just remember small is beutiful.
