Couple of things noted, handrail knob needs fixing, broken when I brought it and I thought I had fixed it...... obviously not! Front LH buffer stock been mended prior to me and not level....hope I can persuade it to move. Mould mark needs removing on buffers That Pannier looks really good @KNP it’ll be great when painted. You must be very pleased. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It 's a Parkside Models PC59 LMS Fish Van but I brought the wrong era but it was suggested by Paul (Worsdell forever) that if I added vents to the ends I could bring more in line with my era. Which is what is done so its a bit of a hybrid.. Edited March 30 by KNP 26 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Thanks, it was the vented ends that got me thinking what it might be. I've been wading through my collection of LMS van kits, that copy of The Pannier Papers hasn't arrived yet! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
