Benny7820 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Evening all I am currently finishing off a Parkside Dundas kit of a GWR "Beetle" Prize Cattle Van (W7) 1927 in 4mm (PC64) and have a couple of questions. 1.Were these vehicles fitted with Steam heating facilities or through piping? 2. Does anyone know where I can find a photo of the end, side and even underneath? Look forward to hearing from you Seasonal Wishes Ben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted December 12, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 12, 2009 According to the info I have, the 1907 batch of these vehicles were provided with full carriage fittings e.g. Gas lighting (tank under floor), steam heating and communication chain connections!
