A good morning to all you learned Southern guru's
As a future project I would like to build an NER V3 "Shildon" Brake van and was wondering if the Slaters SECR Bake van might make a decent starting point. Can anyone tell me the wheelbase or any other known dimension so that I can attempt to get an idea of potential suitability?
The drawing below is a snip from the drawings in Ian G Sadler's book NER Brake vans and is purely used to illustrate what I am trying to achieve.
This is the Slaters SECR van that I am talking about (image linked from Slaters site) again for illustrative purposes
Any assistance will be gratefully received.
