GWR Brake Van Handrails

 Plucked up courage to fit the Brynkits etched handrails. Removal from the etch was achieved using a heavy knife and minimal cleaning up was done. I found it easier to file the pips for locating them flush to the side strapping which will mean a bit of retouching after painting them.
My hands are no longer as steady as they were and my fitting of them I am not entirely happy with. Still they are on now and hopefully wont look as bad once all is painted. Worst thing is to match the original van colour, I have forgotten which shade I used. Will show the finished article once this is done.
