Sanford Brake Van

This is my first attempt at modeling using Plastikard (and a bit of wood).

As my main interest is the Penrhyn railway I thought I'd have a go at building the brake van that was converted from the locomotive Sanford to go with the rest of my rolling stock.

I may have over done it with the rust though!

Well done, and glad to see I am not the only one that takes photos in the kitchen of my completed models!

The prototype for your model is interesting to me, first learned of it in the Guide by The Association. Fun stuff!

Looks very good....and I don't think that you've over done the rust at all.

Looks superb, rust is perfect! A very nice item of rolling stock indeed.

Many thanks for your comments folks. I took Sanford out for a test run this afternoon and managed to get some nice out of the kitchen photos

Excellent - and I can see a "new lease of life" as freelance versions for some old Mamods there!

How did you do the rust weathering? Looks about spot on to me.

Well done

Sadly Sanford was the only vehicle in the Penrhyn scrap line at Coed Y Parc that was actually scrapped, a real shame as it's such an interesting vehicle,
therefore I decided that my model of it should have a neglected look.

........................ and of course, the Curse of the Railway Modeller has struck yet again - the prototype of a kit was on view at Merstham this weekend!

Don't know that one any more details ? I knew David Bailey Designs were working on one, I'll have to produce mine as a kit.

No more information I'm afraid - Raif Copley is Triassic Models and is doing a kit!
