Brake Van Uplift

Brake Van 46 as built in 2008

Brake van No.46 is four years old this year and it has entered the workshop for a bit of a makeover. The original on which it is modelled had disc wheels but I used the spoked variety when I built it as that was all I had to hand at the time. This vehicle is a bit light too, so fitting some solid disc wheels will add some weight as well as adding a bit more authenticity to the vehicle. While it is in the workshop I will cover the ply roof in paper to represent canvas and I will re-model the lamp top on the roof as the original one looks a bit tall and thin.
Currently the axleguards and the spoked wheels have been removed and the solid wheels are awaiting painting.
