Heywood Style 4w Brakevan
Loving the breakvan! Maybe you could build a whole heywood style train to go with it*. Heywood did make a dining car, a sleeping car and a few other designs of stock, whilst his open wagon design was so brilliantly simple that the ratty pway train is to this day composed almost entirely of heywood design wagons
*ok, maybe a bit ambitious

Ta Guys, it is likely I may build some more Heywood stuff in the future (open bogie coach), but my bank acccount has just hit rock bottom, so I think I'll finish the projects I've started in the meantime (that's correct, not even enough for a set of Binnie/Cambrian bogies) !
Pheeeeesh, £400 was over my limit, I'd love a 'Katie', somehow I think that is somthing that'll have to wait till I'm older and one appears in the GardenRail Ads section (unless somone wants to buy me one? )Matt wrote:Yeah, and we're still using the origanle couplings up there on the Ratty. Watch out for the Heywood 'Katie' that DJB engineering are going to lauch sometime in the near future.

Great captured the look of the real thing very well. All those who are intrested in Heywood please remember that the 2 surviving locos (of sorts) are at Ravenglass River Irt has the frame and other bits of Murial whilst Katie is the real thing
Ps when i was last at Ravenglass River Irt was over the workshop pit with the axels out for maintenence, I was allowed to go underneath to look at the underside of the loco, very interesting
