Yes definitely Dave.The kit even comes with the prestwin chassis.The 20 ton break van kit would probably be even better especially If you don't have the ballast wagons to go with the plough van.

The most difficult part of this build so far has been the hand rails which I got done today.I have also started back at the Wickham inspection car which I intended to power, alas she will not move.I just built the seats etc, however the way I did it may not be correct as I lost the original instructions.

It's a nice kit Des, although I will cheat a bit and use the shapeways 3D printend plough section. Noel, The SSM kits are nice to make and we'll worth having a go at building.

Thanks for the comments lads. The double steps have been added and I stuck in the control wheel on a bit of brass rod inside the van.After trying different brass wire I found one that I could bend to fit on the side to represent the break pipe.The roof needed a bit of work to fit the body.

You did a great job, sweet.

Lovly Job Nelson.Happy New year to you.

Very impressive running.

Some more work done today. I cut some brass tube and glued it to the stove vent and attached the side lamps as well.Some more brass wire was used to make the handwheel on the veranda. Some adjustments are required for the roof to fit properly as the doorway section of the veranda is a bit high and will need to be cut down a bit.

Lovly Layout Geoff, well done.
-
Happy New Year to all.
-
Have a good one Pat.

That's a hell of a lot of quality work Kieran. I hope you are not giving up on your thread.

Looks like a great option for a better running C class
-
Happy Birthday Fran.

I have put some plastic card in the internal area to help the body sit better on the chassis.I have some photos of what I plan to do with the shape way plough and the brass SSM parts that will hold the thing together.

Thanks lads, ye can picture me out in the shed this evening, cold bloody shed I might add.I am going to try to do as much as possible on these.I think Des is the artist on the nice kits he brings out.

While the 42 flats are not 100% finished, I have started on the SSM ballast plough van.You can see the difference between the shape ways version which seems a little too long and lacks detail, the SSM version has the side lamps, stove vent and comes with the option of grills for the windows.Two antennas are also supplied for the roof.I might cheat a bit and use the 3d printed shapeways plough that have more detail.

A least Shem you did not get the Cranky crane.

Santa brought me this nice CIE Leyland and a few Bells from C Rail.
-
Very nice Kieran. I hope to have my 42 on test in a few days so will let you know how mine runs.

Lovly job there, NIR Class 80.
