It is my understanding that parkside dundas kits were all designed for brass bearings and romford 12mm wagon wheels (where appropriate). The peco kits apparently now use 12mm gibson wheels which cause me much trouble!! I think the problem is the gibson wheels have plastic wheel centres which are not perfectly round. There is a pronounced wobble in all my peco builds until I replace with markits/romford wheels. The all metal romford wheels are far superior but are more expensive. I also think the gibson axles are marginally shorter than the romfords. This is all from experience and I cant claim to know 100%.
An absolutely pleasure to watch this video. Great video editing, good lighting, and a good voice to go along with it. Great tutorial, thanks for sharing. Looking forward in getting acquainted with your channel.
Everything that has to be told about these vans has been covered in this video. Except for your one question, the axles. In general when you take measurements of the axles of different brands there are differences in the point to point width. Especially on older RTR where no provision was made to regauge to EM axles tended to be shorter, Lima for instance used continental H0 wheels, which were of a too small diameter too. The same may be true for the older Parkside Dundas kits, the axles were definitively of a different make then, also there might have been no brass bearings with the pin points turning in the plastic axle boxes. The current axles can be regauged to EM, although the clearance between the flanged bearing cups and wheel disc is very tight. Removing the flange on the bearing but adding a thin fiber washer on the outside of the wheels will make things work better, the widening of the frame as you did is necessary anyway to get things right for both 00 or EM.
An interesting video with some useful info and tips. I had wondered about making kits, it looks like it might be fun for the days ahead when the garage is too cold for train running.
Parkside kits are getting on a bit now. If I remember hornby and Bachmann use(d) 26mm long axles and Lima, possibly mainline and the like use(d) 25mm long axles, parkside unknown but possibly when designed the kits were set up to whatever quantity axles were available at the time, just pinpoint into plastic I think, brass bearings came later. Don't quote me though :)
Some of them are earlier red panda kits and some other brands that were purchased and rebranded to parkside and the range expanded but from what I know they've always been meant to take brass bearings and have come with such since I first built one as a spotty kid back in the late 90s and a good while before that when my dad was building them before I could be trusted with the stanley knife and solvents lol Fitting the bearings was never really an issue way back then so this could be down to a change in bearing spec?
3005 medium rust 3008 track rust 3015 brick dust are the ones I use most Commonly on all projects, then the 2 or 3 that I use for specific needs on some models. I don't have the full range, can get by most of the time with the limited few I have. Pick up a new one every couple of months or when I need one.

Great build. Love your techniques and approach to solving any problems.
‘Riveting’ 😀😫
All the best, Darren 👍👍👍
Fabulous video. Thanks for sharing, especially the method of cleaning flash lines and production nibs. Very important.
Very nice video you put together. Hope there more to come soon.
Plenty more in the planning stages! If only I didn't have to do the work thing 😖😂
@@Wallsrail Great and thanks very much for replying to my comment. Have a Great Christmas and Happy New year. Take Care & Stay Safe.
Thanks! That was really useful and answered some questions posed by building these kits.
Great to see them being built great job 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Parcel vans glad to see you put your own 'stamp' on how to build them 😄😄😄 sorry that's the best i could come up with
First class 😂😂👍👍

waar kan ik deze bouwdozen kopen. alvast bedankt

Indeed, have been stocking up on kits for the coming winter 🥶 👍
A well explained and informative video with some great tips on how to get the best out of a kit. Well done you and thank you for sharing.
Thank you 😃

Another enjoyable vid. Love a good Parkside kit me!
Me too! Diverging into obscure kits soon!!
Enjoyed that - inspirational
Thanks for sharing CHEERS from over seas UNITED STATES 🇺🇸
Great video matey,very entertaining👍
Nice video. Thank you for sharing.
Great video
Nice work 👏
Cheers 👍👍😃
First time subscriber to your channel great vid 👍👍👍 going have a binge watch of your vids👍👍
Welcome aboard!
Great video, inspired me to want to build one....one small problem, the kit seems to be sold out everywhere ☹️. Have you caused a rush on these kits?
do you have a list of the MIG pigments you use for weathering?
3005 medium rust
3008 track rust
3015 brick dust
are the ones I use most Commonly on all projects, then the 2 or 3 that I use for specific needs on some models.
I don't have the full range, can get by most of the time with the limited few I have. Pick up a new one every couple of months or when I need one.
i had a look at greg"s models .... you"r probably right!! ...."he is that good" is he not! .... but your still like u so far!!
Mmmmm blue 25....blue parcels....nice
Hmmm I know 😍
