Chivers Finelines 6-wheel LMS Fish Van kit assembled as a BR Stores Van. I wasn’t keen on the dummy cut-off centre wheels that came with the kit so I removed the “pinpoints” from some 14mm dia. wheels and fitted them to a scratch-built (from plasticard) “caddy”. This allows the centre wheel to move transversely and the wagon happily negotiated 3rd radius curves. Cheers Darius

Canopy completed and weathered. The brass rod rainwater downpipes also act as dowels to mount the canopy to the baseboard. Cheers Darius

Refuelling point canopy under construction using Plastruct I section and 1mm/0.5mm plasticard sheet. Now waiting for channel section purlins and corrugated metal sheeting to arrive. Cheers Darius

Received my Vol.2 from the RPSI yesterday. Wonderful stuff. Cheers Darius

The folk in the know on RMWeb pointed out that the chassis was about 2mm too wide so I set about narrowing it… Cheers Darius

Mainline BR parcels Van with new metal wheels, glazing, window bars and couplings - otherwise oob - plus some weathering. Cheers Darius

More ballasting today - the lift-out section above the helix - and some buffer stops. The buffer stops need a spot of weathering to tone down the “redness” and the track needs to be dirtier. Cheers Darius

Lima LMS GUV repainted into BR blue. Plus new wheels, couplings, cleaned up undergibbons, glazing and glazing bars. Cheers Darius
