  1. I may be completely wrong? But when 111 hauled all the 450 classes to be scraped there was also 2 Gatwicks coupled up between the engine and the 450s to provide extra braking power.

    So this may be the reason why?

    I'm definitely not certain so I may be wrong?

  2. I agree the under frames are the hardest part of a wagon to get right, due to the lack of plans and photos which show under frames.

    My wagons are built on Dapol RTR chassis although I have thought about using Ratio chassis in the future.

  3. Hi,

    Many thanks for your help guys.

    I will make another NCC brake van soon, a 10 ton one this time and follow your advice.

    Yes, Popeye I have seen those drawings in the resources section before they are top notch.

    If anyone has any more info on NCC wagons? Then do please feel free to post.

  4. Hi,

    I'm hoping some people can help me out here please.

    I'm wanting to make a rake of 15/17 NCC wagons to go along with my (not yet built) NCC U2.

    I have looked through all the books and done some research but all I can find are vague photos showing wagons in the background.

    So if anyone has any plans or photos of NCC wagons could you please post them here or send me a PM.

    I'd be very grateful.

    Many thanks

  5. Hi,

    I haven't started the 12 ton van yet as some much needed research needs to be done, like detail on the under frame.

    But I have started another side project to keep me going.

    It's detailing a dapol 5 plank wagon.

    I know it looks messy but it will all be tided up later on,

    And I know i should have used brass, but I haven't got any so. I decided to make do with plasticard.

    Any comments, questions, constructive criticism, etc... Please feel free.
