When I first started the garden railway, I bought some very cheap LGB stuff of eBay amongst which was a very European style box van.Like this,,,

Nothing lasts long in original condition around here, so it received a quick paint to make it look slightly more British.

Not content with that, the coffee stirrers came out....

With a bit more work, wire and GRS transfers I have a narrow gauge, GW style Toad that looks the part from 4' away!

I remember seeing this on G-scale Central ages ago - it looks very effective and although not mm perfect, it captures the feel of a Toad nicely :)

I'm currently modifying a banana van into an Austrian goods/brake/parcel van! Funny how adaptable these LGB models can be :)
