Hi guys. What bogies do the Dutch gen vans sit on ?

Just seeing this now. For info. the earlier type of Dutch Van that supplied steam are fitted with 2 boilers rather than 3. On the model the boiler visible through the third window (the window with 'rpsi' underneath) is a storage area.

Yes two boilers in the original Dutch Van which has two circular vent's on the roof one per boiler.

BRUTAL things to travel in! Worse than "tin vans" at anything over 25mph!

In some of the transfer kits for these vans I see a max 30mph decal. Was this only applies after they were transferred to brake van duties at the end of their lives?

That is correct.

Unfortunately, my SF model has the dual white stripes but not the big shoulders.

So it's kind of a Dutch mongrel.

Was it three or four that were converted?
