You really need a brake van to go with those goods wagons (ideally an ex-GWR van painted in BR colours). Trains of that era tended to be unfitted, i.e. they didn't have continuous brakes, so the last vehicle of a train was a brake van, where the guard rode, and could apply a brake when needed. On steep hills, the train would stop at the top, and some of the individual wagon brakes were applied by hand and pinned in position so the train wouldn't run away.
Tops Vans in Bauxite with the XP logo would have been fitted but the PO wagon likely not. So fitted vans nearest to the loco and unfitted to the back followed by a brake van.
By the way i buy a lot of my stuff from either Hattons or Rails of Sheffield , I get the 20% VAT off which often as not pays for the shipping which is very good . Well packed and good delivery great shops both !!
I've been looking at Hattons. It's not entirely sensible for Aussies to buy everything there, but they do have some good deals and It seems pretty hard to get a good variety of British N scale stuff here.
@@HerbertErpaderp I buy a ton of OO gauge stuff from Rails of sheffield , their overseas shipping ninth best as are their prices . I model the North Staffordshire railway in my basement here in Cincinnati Ohio . I wish you all the best in your endeavours but be aware that it is VERY addictive mate :-)
Looking forward to seeing some model railroad videos added to the rotation of your current offerings. Hope to catch some streams as well.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how your new N gauge layout progresses! Good luck! Ian

Would really enjoy watching this build from the ground up
I wish you a wonderful yourney into model trains. It will be interesting to see you doing this. For the future I see a wagon called "Stinky"! 😄
Try cleaning your drive wheels, it may just be the lack of electrical current to the locomotives...🤔👍

Model railways is like crack for older blokes , I am an incurable addict here inn the US with my English railway 🙂
I’m in the US and I want to eventually model a French railroad. It’s a bit odd trying to find pieces. That’s how I came across this loco.
well have fun with it and as perogres or not will be tuning in as post it yes going take lot time but one better whays to test the moder in you
Great to see you branching out into n gauge!
I bought a load of N gauge stuff when I was wargaming in 10mm scale.
And then started wargaming in 15mm scale...
Are you going to create a separate channel for your model railway videos or keep them here?
That'd be far too much work for no return. They'll be here.
