Volkswagen T2 transporter in 7/8ths...

Over Christmas the John Lewis 'surfer van' was brought to my attention. There aren't many road vehicles available in 1/14 unless you count the massive trucks that Tamiya market, so the idea of a relatively cheap vehicle for the Dyfrdwy Tramway was worth investigating...

After digging about the internet I found the T2 had a 'pick up' version - much more suitable for the tramway and slate company, so a purchase was made and the back end duly hack-sawed off!

The van is beginning to look promising, and will work nicely on the line when finished. I need to scrathcbuild a new cab back, and deck, as well as some drop sides. I think I'll do a crate of Slate for it as well.

More soon...
