RMweb Premium CloggyDog Posted March 1, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) I'm guessing 7mm, given it's posted in '7mm+ modelling ' Certainly LNER origin, both body and chassis. Nothing similar in either the Parkside or Slaters ranges. Is it plastic, brass, whitemetal?? Edited March 1, 2019 by CloggyDog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Parkside Dundas LNER 12 Ton steel ended van. I can't find the 7mm version, but this is the 00 gauge one. https://www.track-shack.com/acatalog/Peco-Parkside-PC26-OO-Gauge-LNER-12-Ton-Van-Corrugated-Ends-Plastic-Kit-Peco-Parkside-PC26.html Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90164 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Freightman? ABS? As far as I know, Parkside's 7mm LNER wagons have the wooden ends. The number/lettering style is almost certainly wrong for the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many pre-Nationalisation fitted van types lasted well into the 1970s and would have worked across the network. Paul Bartlett's website has photos of that type of wagon, including one at Staines in the mid-60s. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/lnercoveredmerchandise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted March 3, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 3, 2019 Just out of interest, I know it isn’t what you meant but I’m interested in the origin. Is the body plastic? If so looks like a Freightman. These usually had a white metal ABS underframe but hard to tell if yours is metal or plastic. Either way it’s got added detail such as safety loops tho.

Marshall5 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I seem to remember reading that someone had bought up the old Freightman range and planned to re-introduce it but that was some time ago and I've heard nothing since. Does anyone remember who it was? Ray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone remember who it was? Ray. Could it have been ABS? If so, or if whoever it was would need ABS whitemetal underframes, there's little hope of reintroduction, unfortunately.

bulleid101 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Thanks to all The body is plastic and It appears to have whitemetal underframes but no identifying logo... If anyone is interested I could post underframe detail. ciao Jim Edited March 4, 2019 by bulleid101 more info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
