RMweb Gold checkrail Posted July 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2020 Those vans are lovely Kevin, and your application of transfers is exemplary. Seems such a simple job, but I find it terribly hard just to get them straight, let alone to fix properly. 5 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems such a simple job, but I find it terribly hard just to get them straight, let alone to fix properly. Thanks They do not always go to plan which is why it is useful to have some spares..... Most times I wet them, slide them off onto a knife blade and place them by easing them off the blade with a needle (held in a pin vice) onto the model. Use Decalfix both before and after fixing seems to make them behave better and give a bit of 'slideability'. 1 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people - you all know who I mean - are very good at assembling, painting, lettering and weathering wagons, so how about a fictitious Little Muddle coal merchant with a couple of his own PO wagons. (Probably numbered 98 and 99 so no-one knew he had only two.) 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted July 27, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2020 After doing a bit of research I realised that my new V24 ventilated goods van was wrong, or could be depending on year, in that there was a Board of Trade ruling saying all single sided braked wagons should be changed to both side braked. Single set of brakes shoes was still OK but there must now be brake levers on both sides by 1939. So, back into the workshop she went for the addition of a brake lever on the non shoe side. Here she is returned to the fleet sporting new lever and connecting rod between hangers... And before anyone comments that is the roof vents on the signal box behind and not some new fangled GWR goods cooling system..... 19 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
