EVening all,

 

I got this at Model world 2010 on the cheap. It says on the box its a LNER Bulk Alumina Wagon but its missing decals and the roof shown on the box :S

Any idea what colour this should be an where I could get some decals for this from?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

 

Jon

Livery is LNER Wagon Grey (quite a dark colour - similar to GWR Wagon Grey) Al black below solebars.

 

Transfers - I use HMRS Methfix, but there are others.

This looks like a Slaters LNER/BR 20t hopper wagon, which are very similar to the alumina wagon, but with a horizontal end, rather than an angled one with a roof.

 

Details of he two kits can be seen at the following links, complete with photographs of the finished articles so you can see the difference.

Transfers for a BR liveried wagon can be obtained from The Old Time Workshop range, via Parkside Dundas

look for reference M7706

 

It may also be possible to get them from Slaters if you try contacting them directly via their website.

 

There are a couple of these wagons at Goathland station on the NYMR, I've got some photos somewhere and can post them for you if you like

 

Hope this helps
