I have a few more exterior photos now so I am just in the process of adding bump stops, grab handles etc. What I have done is make up some interior details, the first is the pressure gauge? (not really sure of it&#8217;s name) from some brass sprue, rod washers etc. The second is a very nice Sidelines brake standard casting which I have modified by creating a head mechanism that allows the handle to be side mounted instead of on the top. Once again scrap etch to the rescue &#8211; I based it on an outline drawing and the casting that Jim McGeown provides in his NBR Brake van kit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_5595-670x800.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-812\" alt=\"IMG_5595 (670x800)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_5595-670x800.jpg\" width=\"670\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_5595-670x800.jpg 670w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_5595-670x800-251x300.jpg 251w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_5596-537x800.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-813\" alt=\"IMG_5596 (537x800)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_5596-537x800.jpg\" width=\"537\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_5596-537x800.jpg 537w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_5596-537x800-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Progress has been steady and I have to confess to getting a little bogged down with the bogies.
