  • The LMS Van

    4mm

    Having completed a variety of 4mm scale LMS Brake Vans (which we featured in MRJ 224 and LMS Review No. 1) Mick Moore decided to look at the variety of goods vans that can be made from the Cambrian range of kits. This has resulted in thirteen different vans from half a dozen different kits. Mick takes an engineering approach. He believes that it is easier to make parts straight and square using a milling machine and says that he would find it difficult to cut and file to the save level of accuracy. However, the rest of us may prefer to use a scalpel and files to alter these kits in the way that Mick suggests. Here he looks at the first of the kits.

    Following his build of LMS steel-bodied vans in MRJ 238, Mick Moore now looks at two more 4mm scale Cambrian kits. The smaller Midland Railway van and the later LMS 12-ton van are wooden bodied, and share a family resemblance. Variations on both these kits have given Mick another four different goods vans.
