Won't make the Show, but will look out for that issue!!
Today's plasticard wrangling...
A pair of Lima 12t vans with all the side detail taken right back, then overlaid with new sides and doors in Evergreen #2067 Car Siding. Futher detailing in microstrip. Ex-LMS d2039 and ex-LNER dig 116 Not intended to be 100% accurate, more to give some noticably different vans to run among all the BR standards.
There's a Vanwide also underway, just drafting the doors up to be cut on the Silhouette.

Vanwide close to completion. Annoyingly, I accidentally let a drop of Revell Contacta fall on one side, so have added a 10 thou patch repair, as was often seen on the prototype (it's on the other side)
Also closer to completion is a scratchbuilt Lowmac, from Evergreen 4mm channel and assorted plastic sheet and strip. This may get a cradle to take ISO 20ft containers, or maybe just a suitable vehicle (and I'll make another for use as an ISO conflat conversion)
These, along with the earlier pair of vans and a LMS 42ft bogie CCT (scratch body on a shortened Rivarossi chassis) are soon for priming and paint.
