Sulzer201 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hi all I had a bit of a go at converting a BR MK I brake to an IR gen van. Very amateur effort but I'm trying my best to make a fist of it and am enjoying it. Some boxes underneath have not be moved (and won't be)! and painting to be finished. I know it's way below the standards achieved here but great enjoyment for me and getting a bit more confidence as I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishrailwayman Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Another approach is to get a brass overlay with the correct window/vent/door arrangement from Bill Bedford and work from there. The donor coach then just needs cutting back where openings don't coincide. The sides are glued in place and filed/filled to smooth any gaps. A good paint and decal job then finishes t off well.
