I built 3 of these recently - not the easiest of kits to put together, but with care makes a nice looking model. Halfwit posted a step by step guide that I found very useful. It's in the archives I think.

 

You will probably find that a deal of cutting back is required underneath to provide adequate clearance for the wheels.

 

Good luck! I will watch with interest.

Nice work Mozzer and David looking good. A shame that the etches never got altered. When I checked the original test etches for the previous owner of the etch artwork I flagged up that the floor portion of the etch was too wide. That was in late 2009 I had helped him with. So presumably when he sold the etch artwork onto Roxey nothing had been altered.

 

One thing to note if you are modelling them as Summers wagons then you will not need the vacuum cylinders and vac pipe fitted as the Summers wagons were only ever unfitted wagons. Only once they were purchased by BR and ICI did they gain the vacuum brake equipment and larger style ICI lettering. Plus the vertical end ladders were fitted as standard to the Summers wagons and retained by ICI when they received their fleet of 13 wagons.

 

Cheers Paul

A neat job on an awkward, but highly satisfying, kit Brian. Cambrian sell a sprue of various brake wheels, one of which is a decent match and far better than using the etched job supplied with the kit.

 

Paul - I believe it to be an ICI rather than a Summers wagon, check the body dimensions against a drawing, and the body length against the chassis.

 

My latest build can be seen here.
