I couldn't help but notice that one of the new Hornby 5 plank releases (R6947, "Dowlow Lime") has a plain, undecorated chassis with no builders plates on the solebar, etc.

 

Now IIRC on older releases the five plank chassis was common to all sorts, BR Vent Vans, SR Vans, LNER Conflats, etc. Of course they had the big "D" shaped couplings, crude detail and plastic buffers. The thought has crossed my mind that I could "upgrade" some of my older wagons and vans with the newer chassis so they wouldn't look out of place with newer Oxford and Bachmann releases. But before I commit to that, can anyone who has any of the latest 5 or 7 plank releases confirm that they have the same clipping method for putting a new body on?
