Motor Car Van Roof And, Er, Things

The plates that allow vehicles to go from wagon to wagon and presumably loading ramp (on the glass under the wagon) are another puzzle - double the size and with the leg on. I can't fathom what the leg is for so that came off, and working from photos I've cut the plates in half, which looks much more like the photos. The coupling hook holes have been opened out a bit so may standard Laurie Griffin coupling hooks will fit. The new shiny industrial grade roller made light work of the roof - so nice not having to battle with a steel bar on soft toweling to get the bend. The sides are about 0.25mm short at each end which is a shame, so some filler has gone in. All needs tidying up now before fitting the hinges and pipes so they don't get damaged.
