Hi All
Another diversion, I bought the Tony Riley wooden box van just to get a feel of the size of a G1 Box Van.
So I've now started to build it alongside my other project 'the V18 Box Van'
I had previously purchased the brake gear set from Neil Butcher just after getting the van kit.
This was for a OK DC1 set but what I now realise is that the axle boxes should be grease types not oil ones!
A set of parts from Peter Korzilius arrived just as we were going away last Saturday, so here what I got for the chassis.
Neil's buffers need drilling out and heads sourced from someone like Peter Korzilius and Peter gives a drawing showing the drill sizes and lengths to drill, very helpful.
