Wickham Green too

You are, of course, assuming that Rapido aren't already aiming to improve their "early Engineering Prototype" illustrated on the last page .......... the words "early" and "Prototype" suggest to me that they have adequate time to sort out what they may already recognise as a glaring problem.

Unfortunately the title that's obvious to YOU might not contain the key words someone ELSE thinks obvious ...... truck / wagon, carriage / coach or locomotive / engine frinstance !

Half of them were built after the 13s were SCRAPPED !

Just about the only Brighton coaches to last into BR days, unfortunately .......... except on the Isle of Widget, of course. If it does - Please, PLEASE, Rapido don't model its tender in current state : they seem to have mounted a 3500 gallon body on the chassis from a 4000 gallon tender ..................... yes I know some people like models of locos AS CURRENTLY PRESERVED - but I don't, I'm afraid.

Not disagreeing with you .... that was a response to 34theletterbetweenB&D - though jumping over the page removed context.

Obviously couldn't fit a square egg in a round hole !

Yes - look at any photo of a 13 and you'll see a humungous slab of steel rather than the standard buffer beam.

Which far too many RTR & aftermarket producers seem not to be aware of.

"truck", "carriage", "storage wagon" ................... make up your minds !

Access may have been just for setting up - whatever - rather than riding in.

Rather implies that it could substitute for either the Master OR the Slave .......... sounds unlikely !!?!

'A few pages back' ? ...... that's half a thread back and fourteen months ago - no wonder I'd forgotten !

Without reading back through all sixteen pages of this thread, has anyone noticed / commented on the 'ghosts' of ironwork on the replacement door and timberwork on 943009* ................ a nice try, guys - I've just added the freshly replaced unpainted planks on mine. * O11 No.86140 appears, thus, in the original ( 1971 ) GW Wagons book.

Being VACUUM pipes aren't they a little chunky to represent AIR pipes ?

... except, of course when said brake van(s) had to be conveyed empty because of an unbalanced working of some sort. ( I won't suggest that the unbalanced guard should have remained with his van ! )
