Hi, thanks for the suggestions. The Parkin book has a couple of pictures but the clearest has the doors open and down covering the underframe. the diagram shown is of the body with no underframe detail. It talks about the underframe being a shortened version of the CCT one, but no decent picture or drwing of that either! Still looking for a clear view or diagram of the brake gear on the BR mark 1 Horsebox, or some idea of what to do with the etches in the kit! Hope someone out there can help...

Regards, Neal

I've just got to stages 9 and 10 in the 'instructions' and i'm struggling with folding up and locating 'all the etched, white metal and brass components' from the murky pictures of black components on a black painted underframe.

Anyone had experience of the kit who can tell me what to do with the fold lines on the brake pullers? Also, what exactly are the brake puller keepers? Anyone got a decent picture of the finished item I can follow?

Any help gratefully received!

As with the rest of dia P vehicles in the coaching index, solebars and underframe were painted black... dilbert

Thanks dilbert, just what I needed to know!

Can I ask in this thread about Brown livery for NPCCS vehicles? I have an early Scorpion carriage truck with a patent (Allen?) screw brake and Mansell wheels on my work bench awaiting painting. Should the solebar and underfloor ironwork be black or is any of it brown? I can't find a written reference in any of my books and i'm aware wagon grey livery extended to these areas. Any help gratefully received!
