Parkside PS103 25t Brake Van

Post by VicPallett »

Hi
I have just purchased on of these kits - my first attempt at O gauge kit building and am stumped at the first instruction. which is to glue the floor (5) to the sub chassis. I cant find any picture of these two components on the instruction sheet, so don't know what I am looking for. I don't think that I have any instructions missing as I have two sheets numbered 2 and 3. I have identified what may be a floor - it has planks - but there are two of them.
Can anyone help. I would ask PECO but they appear to be shut for lockdown.

I hope somebody can answer who has built one. Usually if there are two of something it will more likely be body sides or ends, but a few kits have been known to have two part floor or chassis so the kits can be made to fit smaller boxes. (Peco 0-16.5 coaches come to mind).

The 2 planked items are floors, probably for the end platforms near the buffers.

I'm assuming that page 1 is the other side of the one marked page 2 - although it doesn't actually have a number on it. Looks like page 1 though as it's headed 'Instruction Sheet'

Thanks for the info, I can now work out where the two floor pieces go and I think that the rest is either numbered ok or self explanatory.
