Yes we fully understand what you mean, we looked at various methods to achieve what you say, none we were happy with. What you need is a Dia1973 to start from…

Excellent, thanks Paul. I should have read the notes on the pictures! Your images are an excellent source of prototype information! We quoted the site as reference material in the instructions. Many Thanks Matt

Many thanks for the kind comment. Southern vans you say?!

Yes RC117, 121 & 127 are still planned to be reissued.

Very interesting! Looks like just the dia1974 without doors to me. The other looks like dia1973 without doors too! Maybe a silly question, Did the CEGB wagons run on the mainline?
