You're right Doug - the depth of knowledge and experience on YMR is amazing. There's almost nothing that someone on here hasn't either done or seen done. 99.9% of queries are answered, and answered correctly, before too long. Beats magazines hands down and the best bit - it's answered for free !!! :cheers Without these resources, I suspect many of us would have given up long ago.

The Kadee No 5 with draft gearbox sits level with the underside of the buffer beam. The wheels came with the kit - 3 hole discs and no brass bearings. Not sure if disc wheels were fitted to earlier versions of the real brake van and I may fit some top-hat bearings later. I can imagine the sharp axle ends will soon drill through the plastic. :roll:

This is the rather unattractive "box art" on the header card. It doesn't look half as attractive as the shot on the old Airfix version from Terry - a pity they no longer go that extra few inches to make it more interesting but that, they say, is called "progress".

It seems this may have originated from Kitmaster rather than Airfix but I thought Kitmaster were mainly coach models …………..:hmm
As an aside, and specially for Rick, it does show the lamp formation I used

New transfers for the Airfix/Dapol kits are available here:

or here:

Out of interest, I notice that there is an article in the latest Hornby magazine relating to making a fleet of Airfix/Dapol Presflow wagons.

Also, British makers must have higher standards for their kits than American makers - Kits made by our companies often have flash like that (and worse) when the toolings are new!
