i just found these on eBay, didn't know he had a direct shop so i may look to buy from there  (who doesn't love free cattle)

Another option is the Dundas Models kit for a cattle van.

It is the same size as the 009 society van.

Kind regards

I don't have any photos to hand of my own builds of the Welshpool vans (just to add the N-drive kits is a reissue of the Nine Lines one) but a google image search brought this up:

It's possibly a little crude by today's standards but the kit must be about 40 years old and was 'cutting edge' when it was 1st released. I've not tried the Ducket Models detailing bits for the Nine Lines kits but have been impressed by their other bits.

these look excellent to me, I don't mind older models if they still hold up and these look nice enough to me. Thanks for the recommendation

That Dundas kit is one of the Irish specialties - a goods van that also doubles up to carry cattle when the side vents are open.

I assume they got a good hose down when put back into goods service...
