chrisf Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 On page 161 of Russelll's Appendix Vol 1, plate 413, is an official photograph of the gangway adaptor. Unhelpfully it does not also show the endplate but it's a start! Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 On page 246 of Vol 2 of Russell's Pictorial Record, fig 423, is a photo of VIP saloon 9001. It carries an endplate which fits the British standard gangways like a glove and the adaptors can be seen sticking out from behind the endplate.

westerner Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Have now transferred both sides and given them a coat of satin varnish. Just the glazing to do and some light weathering on the under frame and roof. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
70021 Morning Star Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 . Lovely, it looks just like a real Hornby ! Only kidding. That's looking superb, Alan. Do you intend weathering it, or keeping it nice and pristine? Rick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westerner Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Rick the under frame and roof will be weathered and possibly the door hinges etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 14, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 14, 2016 Are you sure about that? The purpose of the adaptor was to allow GW/LMS gangways to couple to the Pullman type fitted to Mk 1s. If coupled they would not need endplates [except on our models where they form the rubbing plate] and why would BR go to the expense of replacing all the old endplates? Chris They didn't.
