Cheers, Mark Yes Mark (altho pls see provisos below), the Ratio kit covers the following diagrams: LMS D1891/1897/1978/2039 (that's according to the instructions and this useful blog post on LMS vans, albeit from a BR perspective: https://windcutter.wordpress.com/2012/04/22/the-lms-van/ ) All of these diagrams came in both unfitted and fitted varieties - for the fitted versions, you need to use the LMS bits in the Parkside PA16 underframe kit (which also includes BR bits). According to the aforementioned blog and a post by Castle on his RMWeb 'Little Didcot' thread, this underframe fits pretty nicely under the Ratio body. In terms of D2039 specifically, it might be worth noting that Essery LMS Wagons Vol 1 says that some vans in two of the number series allocated to D2039 were actually built to D2088 (the principal difference being that these had wooden rather than corrugated steel ends, meaning that the Ratio body wouldn't work for these). But if you're after a D2039 with the corrugated steel ends then the Ratio kit is your friend - the only noticeable detail variations I can see that might be worth bearing in mind are the roof rainstrip (they are offset in the Ratio kit but full-length in the photos of D2039 in LMS condition in Essery or central in the photos of BR condition in Essery) and the fact that some D2039 had 2 piece corrugated ends (as in the Ratio kit) while others had 3 piece. Hope I've understood all of that right and it's of some help! Please feel free to message me if you want a copy of any of the details or photos from Essery.

This is a potential conundrum. Does Spams keep his modelling tools in his mouth or is he asking if I have a set of dentures in my modelling tool box. I suppose such a thing might come in handy is Spams felt the need to bite the postman. 1 1 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
