    Before we can do anything else with it, we need to get the LMSR 20T Brake Van at NVR mobile again, and for that we need to replace the springs...

    ...so does anybody have, or know of, any new (or used but still usable) springs suitable for such a brake van?

    Looking at that photo, you may as well replace them with a block of wood, for all the good the springs seem to be doing...

    I've no knowledge of any spares, but can't you just get them refurbished? I'm sure your loco department will have contacts.

    Hi Big Stu
    We are slowly "reducing" the Steam Heat Van - it still has springs DSC00167.JPG

    @big.stu Now there's a restoration I'm looking forward to... be good to see something with a relationship to the line on a goods. Next to the Medfit, of course!
