Make mine a double bolster..

Himself has made two Parkside double bolsters which are now ready for weathering.
These examples are a development of the 1936 designed LNER plate wagon. First built in 1943, over 1,000 were constructed and the LMS, always quick to recognise superior work, ordered a further 1,000. BR ordered another 400 in 1950. In later life many were converted to Plate or Trestle vehicles and survived into the 1970s.
Surprising that we don't have a ready-to-run version of this widely used short bolster vehicle? Having said that you would be hard pressed to better these kits!
