I'm not going to bother trying to follow that, especially since my main goods guards van is a bog standard IP engineering one, although it was my first ever kit built piece of stock.
That guards van however is absolutely brilliant

Tremendous ! is it set in 1939 (going by the newspaper)? That interior looks so real!

One of mine is there, on the rear of the train obviously.
I also have a converted, weathered LGB one,

a small scratch build one (my first attempt at weathering, and since the pic, the floor's been stained), and dad has a Accucraft L&B bogie one. I quite fancy an IP MoD one for my 4w grey wagons.

I have an IP MOD one and again it's bog standard so no point in showing! Also have an FR one (the one that no longer exists) and have an FR balcony brake to be built

Is that actually 45 or 32mm???

As it looks very OO/HO gauge, or is it just the photo?

Gauge 1 on a G scale line Mr. May

Hello, You want pictures of brake wagons? Here is mine, I had a normal looking van but it looked too common place so I sawed it in half and made it extra differant! Observe the sprag brake on the van end and the relaxed posture of the brake man....the scale is 7/8".

Here is my first guard's van (and 16mm kit) I ever built:

It's an IP kit although I have done a fair few mods and kitted the interior out. I also built a new chassis as it does not come with metal axle boxes.

The lights works as I put a LED in it and it uses a CMOS battery under the van to power it.

Cheers,

Tom
