Bullion Carriers: Flat Completed

Fastline Simulation - Bullion Carriers: Completed NLA Bullion Flat carrying two containers.
It's always good to get back to grips with projects and see them make tangible progress, especially after the trials of the previous few weeks.

The shape for the Bullion flat is now complete along with the containers for it to carry.

Built at Derby in 1971 the flats usually worked with the Bullion Vans converted in the mid 1960's from Mk1 BSK vehicles. Descriptions of the flats varies from reference to reference with some likening the to Frightliner flats but with buffers and B5 bogies and others to Mk1 underframes. Through the modelling process it would appear that the second description is much closer to the reality.
