Another something that isn’t a Y4. A part-built Parkside Toad B scored from EBay. Toad Bs were the forerunner of the LNER Toad D, which itself became the basis for the BR 20T Brake Van (Diagram 1/506). The later versions of the Toad B were Toad E, and had steel duckets. Since this photo was taken, I’ve had the roof off to fit glazing to the windows and duckets. Then there’s the details…
These are the Shawplan Extreme Etchings strips being folded into lamp irons with the help of my Hold & Fold. One for each corner post, initially. But we’ll need to be 12 in total; 4 on each end panel, plus these. and then there’s the handrails… I might have the buffers off and fit proper ones from Lanarkshire.
None of this is envelope-pushing, of course… I’m very grateful to Mr Banks for his accounting.. LNER goods brake van: Toad B - Steve Banks
Cheers
