I would print it "as is". My resin printer is an Elegoo Mars 2 pro, about three generations old in printer terms and my go to resin is Elegoo water washable transclucent - usually green but other colours are available. For the S scale open wagon pictured below (GNR of england 4 plank) I went through a ton of prints trying to get it to print with a floor and in the end decided that for the sake of a bit of plasticard it was easier to do it floorless. As a bonus, it also sits horizontal to the build plate and reduces the print time. Screen shot of supported model a couple of views of one of my prints being turned into a work of art by Scott Willis And the finished article For your van in 4mm scale I would do the roof seperately, in 3 pieces, 2 end sections and the centre beam, not sure about the best way of doing the canvas roof doors. Axle boxes and springs easy enough to draw and print. Buffers print with steel heads (Gibson? Wizard Models?), W irons - use standard gauge etches but put a set in the W part, angle it out and then bend it staight down at the level of the bottom of the solebar (sorry that would be so much easier with a picture), it is only a mm each side. Brake gear, mixture of printed and commercially available etches. I am looking forward to printing your van in S, Paul Greene will need a dozen or so for Broombridge. Are you UK based? Are you coming to Railex in Aylesbury at the end of the month? If so please come to Trowland and we can have a chat. Cheers Rob

Interesting article identifies that the fall off in traffic/declining profitability arose as a slump/drop off in trade, but blames the railway directors for "making no serious effort to avert disaster" (fall in value of railway shares/drop in dividends.). Even during the 1920s the railway sharges would have been seen a good long term investment among the wealthier classes. At the time a grandfather was a GSR driver and my mother spoke about the impact of the General Strike on the family, my grandfather remained at work, but my grandparents with young children struggled to source coal to keep the house heated and posssibly other essential supplies. -

Ballyercall will be missing an angel! I’m more amazed by the willingness to pay so much, rather than the price itself. I have a handful of brand new ones that nobody wanted, at less than half that price! -

That played with 085 going for 600GBP in the end is just madness. The buy it now price on the 111 is actually "reasonable" compared to it!
