Van 3

Apologies for the short pause in posting, on account of there being very little going on at my end of the operation.

I should have been starting work on a lamp pot for the top of the Pickering brake van, but I've not found the motivation yet to sit down and start playing with bits of different size styrene tube.

Himself has been doing the final cosmetic work on the sentry box brake van.

In the end impatience got the better of us and we decided to do our own approximation of the lettering on the side doors rather than go to the expense - in time and money - of commissioning what would be a very tiny transfer with lettering so small you could hardly see it.

Shortly after committing to this, and spraying it with varnish, we discovered another modeller had the transfers scaled down from 16mm as part of a job lot, but we're content with our decision.

It looks quite the part running at the back of a few of the Victorian liveried coaches with Welsh Pony at the head.
