Although I have had one of these kits for about 3 years, this one is for a gent who lives in Scotland who models the North Eastern Railway so I rang Dan Pinnock to enquire as to availability last year. Dan said he could do a kit but he would have to order the etches. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> And so, onto the build.<br> I started with the basic floor pan and solebars. Like many kits the floor pan has fold down strips down the long edges. what is unusual is that these are not the solebars. The solebars have a full thickness rear section and a half etched overlay. The rear has a narrow fold along the bottom edge to represent the C section of a steel solebar. When put together the solebars fit into slots behind the fold down strips on the floor pan. To this floor pan is added a pair of queen posts <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"411\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0001-2-1024x411.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4349\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0001-2-1024x411.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0001-2-300x120.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0001-2-768x308.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0001-2-500x201.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0001-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>D&amp;S NER Road Van<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"402\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0002-4-1024x402.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4350\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0002-4-1024x402.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0002-4-300x118.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0002-4-768x302.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0002-4-500x196.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0002-4.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>D&amp;S NER Road Van<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, I made up the bogies, these are simple in design. A pair of really nice brass castings fit onto the ends of a fold up central bolster.
