This is the etch for bogie brake van 4/5. This will form part of the 'red' liveried rake. I intend to build all the rolling stock in one go so that each element of the build can be done production line style. I think I will need to order quite a few more door handle etches from Malcolm! Being brass, the carriages will be quite heavy; which should't be too much of a problem as the rakes I intend to run will be of no more than four bogie vehicles in length. The line is on a gentle gradient rising towards the Cricieth end, and if I ever get to build the next section which will see the line winding around the rocky headland, the gradient will be steeper. With this in mind the etched bogies will be fitted with pinpoint bearings.
