in the last photo the dual gauge track was made by putting brass pins between the OO rails & then soldering a 3rd rail on to the brass pin which were every 4th or 5th slepper this is only used to take photos on & not to run trains on

excellent work; are these commission builds or for your own use? I have far more kits than I can ever build and rolling stock always gets pushed to the end of the queue

According to the 'L&B Measured' book the 4 wheel vans were lower than the bogie vans. The bogie vans were 8ft 7in and the 4 wheelers were 8ft. So there should be 2mm difference in height. I have kit built L&B coaches stock and vans and they all seem on the high side when compared to 4mm drawings.

Maybe someone else can illuminate further.

As mentioned there should be 2mm diferance in the roof heights of the L&B four wheel vans and the bogie vans. But there is clearly more diferance than that between the Peco and Nine Lines models.

I think you will find that the Nine Lines bogie wagons sit to high above the rails and to be accurate would need to be lowered on the bogies by about 2mm.
If you look at the photos of the prototype wagons the frame is only just above the axle box on the but is noticeable higher on the model:

The problem is that if you try to lower the model the bogies may not turn enough and I think you will find that the wheels will hit the floor. I guess that is why they were made like this in the first place.
