Silverfox exBR Mk1 Steam Heating Van

[dave182]

Hi Guys,

 

I picked up a Silverfox exBR Mk1 Steam Heating Van in Clontarf at the weekend to go with my craven set. Coupled up to the Cravens it seems a bit tall. Have looked at youtube and it definitely should be sitting slightly lower than the Cravens, so I think the best thing to do is change the wheels to a smaller diameter. Any recommendations/comments?

 

Also, before I go ruining my new purchase, does the body pop off easily on this model? Would love to add some detail to the interior.

 

Regards,

 

Dave

I'm assuming that it's pendulum operated..

Wow, the design style on that advertisment looks a lot older than 1956...
