LMS 12ton Van - Unventilated, "Steel ends" - OO unpainted plastic kit

Require glue, paint, transfers, couplings, wheels (Gibson 12mm & brass bearings) to complete.

With "pressed steel" ends. This early type of steel-ended van, D1663, built 1924-28, was very similar to the D1832A vans, but lacked the end vent & roof ventilators. For some reason the headstocks (bufferbeam) on these vans had angled ends, unlike D1832A on which they were square-ended. There were 1,600 vans built to this diagram.

Alan Gibson Wheels compatible : 12mm "Open" spoked, 12mm 8 spoked, 12mm 3-hole
