009 Nine Lines Welshpool and Llanfair Brake Van.

 I have had this kit for some time but until now it languished in the to build drawer.

A Nine Lines kit, it fits together after a minimum of flash has been removed and the pieces squared up when released from the sprues.

The kit was supplied with wheels, spoked with metal rims and pin point axles.

When it had reached the stage shown in the first photo, it was given a coat of grey primer which will do as a top coat.

 The roof was also undercoated, this time in white, also the finished colour.

When dry, and left for a couple of hours, The ends were painted vermillion and the underframe black. A guard was also fitted.

Once all was dry the numbers, six in this instance, were added. A coat of matt varnish was applied before the glazing was fitted- clear plastiglaze.

Finally Bemo couplings were modified with uncoupling pins before being secured with epoxy glue.
