I think the NCB tank looks better for being patch painted after the repairs.

Looks cool and the lamp irons are a big improvement on the mouled items.

The wheels should be split spoke, I think, certainly the survivor at the Bluebell has: 15750 SECR COVERED GOODS VAN - a photo on Flickriver. Problem is, I've only got the one axle-worth...
Apply rule #1 - I've seen photos of vans with a mixture of spoked and disc wheels.
I've replaced the axleboxes, too (these are from Rumney Models). The wheels should be split spoke, I think, certainly the survivor at the Bluebell has: 15750 SECR COVERED GOODS VAN - a photo on Flickriver. Problem is, I've only got the one axle-worth...

Hi Adam,
We may have a spare split-spoke axle in Stores, if you need it. I can check this evening.
Cheers

Hi Adam,That’s very kind, Jan. Would - as a P4 monger yourself - it be compatible with my more generously proportioned EM standards? If it is, then yes please. If not, I’m sure I, and the vehicle in question, can wait until Scaleforum.
I must admit that I didn’t mean to start this one but the prospect of the complexities of brake vans didn’t really appeal and it was so hot last weekend that any liquids I tried went off almost instantaneously!
