Southern Pill Box Brake Van.

This Brake Van caused me some problems when it was found that the baseplate had warped. The Cambrian mouldings are excellent however and I think the time spent getting it straightened out was worth it.This was achieved by clamping the chassis side to the base while the solvent hardened.
I cheated slightly in that I didn't fit separated handrails this time, just Meked some thin plastic rod where the handrails should go. I think this has turned out as acceptable- it also saved an awful lot of time. I still took an age to paint them as the old hand is not as steady as it used to be.
I nearly beat Bachmann to the release of this model!
