my dad (8hbob on here)has spent 3 years rebuilding/restoring his brake van from a fire damaged chassis, it finally did its first run yesterday.it still needs some work but it was good to see it in service after all his hard work!i have been helping him over the last month to get it ready for a steam gala at llangollen railway and went on the first trip with it.

seein as i cant afford a mk1/2 escort i really want a series land rover to do up,lightweight would be nice.
hi, What a cracking brake van a real nice top job! any chance i could borrow it? for my "WIKIWOOD TOWN" model layout, but i think i might have a job getting it through the front door and i dont think my base boards will take the weight cheers mike.
How is he? Not seen him for a while - looking at this, I can understand why!
Nice to see something brought back to life like that
