Description
This 7/8 scale body kit was originally a “cutting out” commission for a customer, John Galsworthy. John wanted to make a pair of brake vans similar to those used by the Welshpool and Llanfair railway. (His van is a scale 10 feet long as opposed to the prototypes 14 feet).
The body kit we are offering here is based on John’s artwork files. We have “beefed up” the roof rafters ( they were very fragile at the ends) and have included a simple dual-gauge chassis. John included optional end walls so you can either make an open or enclosed balcony (N.B the photos show the open version), There are also parts for the sliding doors that were added to the Welshpool vans later on.
Please note no instructions are provided with this kit, but it is reasonably straight forward but do take care when aligning the wall overlays onto the walls. Once that is done the corners glue together fairly easily.
No wheels , axle guards, couplings or “iron work” are included in this kits. Please supply your own or consider using the following
