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.

Britannia Pacific Gatwick Express GLV with additional brass rod cab front pipework and MJT fuse boxes added by me.  Also repainted the cab front hosiery, replaced the chunky tension lock couplings with thinner NEM types and weathered the chassis.
