MrWolf Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 That's a rather nice looking engine, (for a diesel ) is it a kit of some sort? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Both of those photo's are just stunning! The detail and weathering are amongst the best I've seen, understated but definitely well used locos. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Captain Kernow Posted July 8, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Italian vans were noted at Pembridge on the Kington branch in 1964, probably for loading with agricultural produce from Herefordshire. Previously discussed on this thread - Here we see 1458 shunting another such van in Capel Bethesda yard, around the same time: Edited July 8, 2022 by Captain Kernow 25 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Brinkly Posted July 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2022 Tim was telling me about these vans earlier. Lovely job converting them from HO to 00 gents and then the subsequent weathering. Who would have thought that a pair of Italian vans would turn up in North Wales of all places! Quiet extraordinary!

If so, perhaps bigger wheels would raise both the roof and buffer heights and make it look more at home. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted July 10, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 10, 2022 The rebuilt height of the van was matched to normal '00' vans by adding depth to the sides and extending the 'T' shaped strapping. The body width should have been widened but the work involved (+1.5mm) would've been prohibitive! The buffer beams were replaced to give the correct buffer spacing. I think that I fitted new suitable Lanarkshire buffers. 1 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
