I take it that you are aware that the Lima Palethorpes vans are not authentic. They are merely inside framed GWR SIPHON Gs with spurious Palethorpes livery applied.

For details of genuine sausage vans, consult the relevant OPC LMS and GWR coaching stock histories.

Genuine Palethorpes sausage vans were :-

GWR Diagram O46 6-wheeled van

LMS Diagram 1955 6-wheeled van

LMS Diagram 1957 bogie van

LMS Diagram 1958 4-wheeled van

LMS Diagram 2001 bogie corridor van

The 6-wheeled vans have been offered by Hornby, (in somewhat basic form).

Hi

Thanks for the info.

Ah! You didn't mention that, and as you bid before posting your message, I hadn't then made the connection between "mindesign" and "seriph". Good luck with your bids!

no problem - I appreciate your looking on my behalf. Feel free to keep doing so

:)))))

As you would've read, these are "wrong" for a whole bunch of reasons, but I am not concerned with that. I just like what I like, for example I love my two Roundhouse Climax Logging Locos and they it seems, are a total concoction, though fully in keeping with what I imagine folks would've done way-back-when on their mines and logging runs. A friend super-details these to a level that's just brilliant and I intend to do the same.

Thanks again

Steve
