Quick photo of BOGIE B-CCT(plywood)-BY

Thanks for input all. Brossard-Thats some serious stuff-pipework is interesting.One thing i did miss and should have been able to do is the safety loops on the brake rodding. I did want to work on the door handles and the pull bars but felt they were not too bad and that i could soon mess up my model with my poor eyesight. Thanks for the link,i had a quick look this morning and it looks like i have some more reading to do,i did notice a reference book in one of the pics so looking into that. I understand the cct-pmv-by-bogie thing,lets not forget equal plank/unequal plank and plywood sided ,its the later classification i was interested in especially drawing much info from p.bartletts photos. Its the NOV AND NQV and also the NFV(which i believe to be the bogie b vehicle. I take it the N refers to non passenger and the V to vacuum, its the O,Q and the F i wish to know about. To take an example from my 1979 book S1411 is under NOV(CCT) it has an asterix against it The quotation for this is-End doors plated over at the bottom so they will not open.NQV(PMV) So a CCT now becomes a PMV just because its doors will not open. OK thats fine if thats the case. Probably i didnt ask the question in the right way. So, I have come to choose running numbers for my southern/br CCT parkside kits Plywood sided Using P.Bs phtotos(mainly because there colour) i came across two(what i believe to be identical vehicles)One marked NQV and the other NOV. Or have i answered myself above,hahaha. And just to make it even more annoying would vehicles carrying the CCT and PMV legend still be in a formation with NOV and NQV in 1979? Thanks

Just a quick photo At primed satge.

Thanks And above all thanks for the welcome. If you do wish to part with some form of a replica of that mentioned booklet then i am only happy to receive. More reading material for me. Thanks again

Hi This is the first post i have put on here so hope i am in the right place. This post will lead to a lot of questions asked by me regarding motive power, tpos and passenger stock. But firstly. I am in the process of building the parkside southern cct cat no pc47 br plywood variant.(I also have the pc39,pc34 and ratio van b) I have added more detail to the kit and have omitted some parts due to my period modeled. For example under frame detailing added, grab rails and steps and roof ventilators removed. I have 6 of these kits all at painting stage.I am going to say that i am aiming for a period no later than 1982 and no earlier than 1978 I am drawing reference from cheona-platform 5 coaching stock 1979,1980, br general parcels stock and also paul bartletts photos. I am at the point of giving the above mentioned stock numbers. I have come across 2 differences within the same CCT.Thats NOV or NQV. Am i right in assuming O relates to no heating and Q relates to steam piped & electric heating. This maybe a pretty straight forward question for someone but the coaching stock book 1979 does not show as much info in the notes as 1980. Anyway thanks for reading
