Sorry Ishould have said ,it’s 7mm. Thank you for your answer . 

Hi Mike . I’m just catching up with your recent posts and the L&Y brake van looks superb . You have inspired me have a go at scratch building as the L &Y is my chosen subject . I’m sure you have said before but what sections and thicknesses of Plasticard do you use ? 

Park Lane Colliery was indeed at Bryn. I live not far away . There is also a Park Lane club and a Park Hotel in the area nearby

The mirror effect works well.

Apologies .Ive just found a thread on this subject on RM Web . If anyone has any thoughts though I would be interested in them.

Hi all . I was thinking about the so called illiterate symbols used on wagons . Are they really so that railway workers could identify wagons ? Surely learning to identify wagons with large letters on the sides would be just as easy as learning the symbols themselves? Also not all companys  used them as far as I’m aware so is there another use/reason for them? Are we underestimating the intelligence of the average railway worker?

Thanks for that . It is a really bad kit isn’t it .Ive binned most of it ,just using it as a scratch aid.

Hi . As regards your armoured train project ,I have one in the wings also. How did the 9f chassis line up with the access panels etc?
Thanks Martin
