LNER Gresley all-steel bogie van

Here's one I made earlier....

A batch was built in 1927 long before more modern techniques made monocoque designs viable. There's no trussing underneath and the roof is built like a boiler! Simulated teak panelling and lining was applied and for many years, one was used at the head of the "Flying Scotsman".

 

Details: A custom etch was required (William Barter), most of the rest was MJT parts only tweaked a little. More info can be found here: www.steve-banks.org

This model runs with the complete, dead-scale "Flying Scotsman" on Cliff Parsons' The Gresley Beat
