D&S Models North Eastern Railway Bogie Road Van

Thanks All,

That's made a nice surprise.

 

The Road van was painted at the same time as the brake vans but I held off posting photos because they formed part of the GOG virtual show’s lockdown models display. The show was held today so I am not taking anything away from it by adding them to my threads.
I enlisted Chris's help to paint the curved arrows on the plate above the brake hand wheel







Finally I was asked by a friend to take photos of both bogie vans together.





For those not familiar with it the LMS van is the Dragon Models Lancashire and Yorkshire 30 ton Bogie van now with TaffVale Models.

 

To close this particular build off, the Road van is lettered, although I cannot take credit for the fine job on the lettering, it was done by its new owner.

This shot was taken part way through the process


All lettered up and ready for the 'road'

 

Thanks Paul,

You are not the first to note the 'American' look. Apparently Wilson Worsdell (CME of the NER) visited the US and the speculation is that he brought some ideas back with him.

 

Ahh yes, I have a resin kit for one of those to build at some point too.
