Hi Guys,

Just a short update. I have finished my Wemyss Private Railway Brake van. It's based on a photo I saw in a book.

The WPR received a couple of ex-MR brake vans. Peco do a kit of this brake, NR-47. However I bought a LMS Brake kit, KNR-48, and converted it to the WPR brake. Going by the photo the windows at the end are too long, so I fitted some inserts to make them shorter. I also drilled out the smaller middle window. Also the support struts for the foot boards were not fitted to the WPR brake so I cut those off and most of the upper foot board as well, leaving just two short steps.

Again once I get the appropriate transfers it will be lettered WPR No3.

Alex
