These are the old LMS 5 planks of which I discarded the chassis. I've replaced it with the 10' RCH/GWR version now sold under the Parkside/Peco branding. Upgraded detail includes Gibson wheels and Dave Franks buffers and coupling hooks. The latter do require a larger than normal hole to be drilled in the buffer beam. ideally done in stages and preferably whilst in the flat stage. I believe you can also use this chassis under the three plank too although these tend to go for more money and are not therefore a cheap conversion. A revisit to these wagons and I've decided to paint them BR grey now complete with tarp but I'm struggling to source transfers. Did they have black panels on them and they were numbered in the 404*** series. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black panels on BR grey ones, not on bauxite. I've done a fitted one using the Parkside PA16 underframe with the characteristic LMS J-hanger suspension.
