Lovely job so far. I’ve just obtained a not so complete kit from eBay. The good deal is less so as a bunch of castings are missing. Before I do it, once bits are obtained, I’ll be starting a Mercian 14xx. Steep learning ahead. Thanks for the inspiration

Thanks All for your very quick replies. I get it now and had one of those "oh, yeah, of course" laughing moments. Thanks again, I'll let yes know how it goes.

Good Evening, This is my very first post and I hope it's in the right place. I'm making a start in O gauge, since I now own two locos, rather unexpectedly. (Offered a discount on one, won the other in a raffle). I've ordered some Parkside kits and have this Slater's BR van to make. I'm a bit confused about the under frame. The instructions tell me to form a 'U' channel, using the included microstrip that they've provided. Has anyone done this or even understand what I'm getting at without me posting a picture of the instructions? I'm guessing that all the BR 12 ton vans will be similar? I'd be very grateful for any advice anyone could give. Thanks and please forgive my cluelessness.
