Any idea what it is please ? https://thetransportlibrary.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=130957&search=brent+gray Thanks for the heads up, looks like there are a few photos which are going to help me with the cutting towards Kingbridge. Just a shame the majority seem to be from the 60s, must find time to do some digging as to whether there are any 1947 photos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to have a Ks plastic kit of one as well. I think Hornby Doublo and later Wrenn did a similar CCT...again both are available from Parkside and Bachmann. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very modellable indeed, when I next go out to the garage I might just have a look at a corner of the layout... With the London end of my brent curving to the south rather than the north it leaves a much bigger space to fill than the real thing..... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very apposite, because this barn is to the east of Brent and to the south of the railway! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following discussion with long time Southern van expert Graham Muz , he suggested marrying the ends of one kit with the sides and chassis of another. PC36 & 39. Here's the van in question close up. 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted August 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Now we have the bigger picture it is an uneven planked one or as Mike King calls them 2 +2 planked. Again Parkside or Bachmann do them. And before anyone mentions Specsavers, they had more of my model railway tokens than I expected just over a week ago. I can see better.
