LMS 20 Ton Goods Brake Van
BR Diagram 1/503
By B. Peacock
The construction of an LMS D2068/BR 1/503 unfitted 20 Ton Goods Brake Van was commenced in July 2013, and is being photographed at each stage of manufacture. The original Brake Van is a Derby built example. Drawings and dimensions are by the builder starting with a basic outline sketch in a book, and complimented by direct measurement of preserved examples. Where possible the photographs include the workshop sketches used for modelling. The images attempt to show production methods of the individual components, and the subsequent assembly techniques. All modelling is by traditional engineering skills with extensive use of chain drilling, hacksaw and files. The photographs are intended as self explanatory without captions, but please use the contact page for additional information if required.
