Well, it's been a useful fortnight in the sun, took some plans, Plastikard, tools etc with me and have managed to almost complete the masters for three new kits. In the pic attached is a W.B.Adams luggage van with sledge brake 1850s, an SER open cattle van, and an 1840s London Brighton Railway enclosed second. The contrast in size between the cattle van and the second is ludicrous. I think the cattle had the better deal, at least they could stand up!
