Spot on paint job!....as well as a ability to derail at a drop of a hat don't forget the fitting of triple valve air brakes😯...had a interesting approach to weaver junction with Ford vans as a newbie! Didn't know that you couldn't apply and release several times with out depleting air brake reservoir....thank heavens for a few VGA uk built vans in train to provide a degree of retardation! Every day is a school day Brill how to demo!

Wonderful stuff! Now you're fully into the resin and an expert in the field maybe you could nip over to southern pride kits and indulge in a resin body for LION, fits a hornby 47 chassis. It has some things going for it... no yellow ends😅🤣 Edit; Did I say southern pride... I meant golden arrow... apologies.

A few years ago I converted a Lima deltic into DP2. Lion could be a potential project 🤔

@@Wallsrail sure it would also involve some nice chopping and changing of bogie side frames to make something a little better looking than the raw donor 47 bogies Has all the hallmarks of something you'd get joy out of, an adventure into making something that looks the part from something that's a bit meh.

Nice to see you back with another wagon kit, never seen on of these before in person, the work you put into these kits amazes me. Having a few troubles with a class 31, it's a Hornby original chassis with an airfix body, only problem is that the model was detail painted blue, the had the steam heat equipment filled and then was dumped in a box, so the paint is damaged and unfinished, I'm rubbish with a brush and thanks too 2 more 31s I'm now in £40 debet with my grandad. Like you I have many projects on the go, mainly using mainline mk1s, some spares, a 37 nose for the high intensity light and a class 43 chassis A sort of nodd to thumpers🙂 Are all old men bad with buying kits, after finishing three open wagons, my grandad bought another two😂 Have a good one and enjoy your hobby ☺️

Really good job, wagon looks really realistic, besides Volkswagen and Ford that had these wagons, Audi also had them. Last week to last month i've caught two Cargowaggon Habiins four axle that are produced by Waggon Union in 1984, besides silver / black livery i caught white one that was been made for BMW Steyr to transport BMW parts between Steyr and Dingolfing.

Ahh the IVA vans. Being a 2mm modeller (West Coast, early to mid 90s) These have been on my to do list for a while to model the Dagenham - Garston Ford Train. Sadly they're not available RTR in 2mm, nor is a kit available. I may have to go down the 3D printed route, but as you say, there is a big difference between the IZA twin sets and the IVA. Length for a start. Another enjoyable watch.

Also may I ask, what is the paint code of the MIG blue paint you have used? I have a couple of Tiphook bogie curtain siders to do and the blue looks pretty spot on for the ends. Again, doesn't have to be the exact shade, as most will be weathered anyway. Cheers. **EDIT** 123 Marine Blue ??

hummm... Just one, you would need 7-12 for a rake and maybe some of the double sets to give the full train look. i dont see the Ford logo either???? Having said that as a show piece it would be just fine as it is. stuck in the middle of any freight set it would be a great purchace.
@Wallsrail2 жыл бұрын
If I was building a set for myself 6 or 7 it would 'va been, but for a one off project, just the one is ok. Logo's were either or not both. With it being a standard cargowaggon not allocated to specific company traffic, gives it the opportunity, as you rightly say, to run as a single wagon in a speed link type train 👍
