I'm planning to make a model of one of the GNR/CIE 'bagged cement' box vans based on the Parkside kit for a BR plywood van. I know this is a well-trodden path!
It will be 21mm gauge so I'll need to move the solebars and buffers out. But I'd like to check whether there are any other dimensional adjustments needed. For example, are the body dimensions the same or do I need to widen the body slightly too?
Can anyone point me towards a dimensioned drawing of one of these vans? I assume such a drawing appears in one or both of the GNR(I) diagram books listed as in the IRRS archives:
WD 001 GNR(I) Wagon diagram Book rev 1948 Y Y 35 Very clean original, does not include any of the later wagons
WD 002 GNR(I) Wagon diagram Book rev c. 1959 45 From Dundalk works,Well used, annotation including numbers and build dates for many later wagons
