The Green Van

A little progress update on Van 51 which Himself has been finishing off.

It looks good with the FR crest applied on the side but until it is sprayed with satin varnish it obviously looks too shiny.

I’m still not convinced by the current infrastructure livery, and although in this livery it apes the plain green which some of the four wheelers spotted in the early years of the revival - including new Van 1 as was - I always thought the red suited it better.

Still, regardless of the colour, another brake van is always a handy thing to have in a fiddle yard, the challenge will be to make sure our 3 different versions of number 1 / 51 don’t appear at the same time....
