Steve, I like your SPV, looks like you've done some extra detailing to update to the later version. :thumbs:

How easy was that? Did you do anything to the ends of the wagon too?

Hi Phil, :thumbs:

Not done anything to the ends. The strips on the top are strips of plasticard. ;)

Ive also won another fish van (Built) off ebay, which will be done as a RTC departmental van (ref Flickr, D8521, @ RTC Derby - Brush Veteran)

Steve, I like the way you've added angle to the sides and moved the little notice board. I was going to do that but was concerned I'd make a mess of it.

What you have done looks good. I'm about to order some more Parkside so I think think I'll get some more of these and see what I can do.

Did you manage to find any more pictures of the departmental van that you are doing?

The departmental (fish) van has been sprayed blue, just waiting to print & apply the transfers for it, then it should be finished.

The 2 x express parcel vans have now been finished. Pics to follow shortly. :drool:

I also have another fish / express parcel van won off eBay, ive just started to assembly. I havnt decided what to do with this one yet. :)

When did they stop getting used for fish traffic Steve ? :)

Depends where you're interested in. A few (very few) of the late design BR vans (not the one that Parkside do) lasted on traffic from Wick 'til c.1981, and I think the famed Aberdeen traffic to and from Kings X lasted til the mid '70s. Fish traffic in general had been in rapid decline since the mid '60s, and the Rail Blue SPVs date from around 1968/69, which was about the time that BR realised they had rather a lot of fairly modern vans fitted with roller bearings, that they really ought to find a use for:)
