More on weathering

In my last post there was a comment on Private Owner wagons. So here is a picture of PO wagons at Brentford Dock. The caption says 1922 so a little late for me but I love the atmosphere.

 

I don't suppose anyone knows who Bradbury were? The wagons certainly seem only lightly weathered.

 

Also I think the bike up against the wagons is a great touch.

Took a look at the PowSides website and they do have a Bradbury transfer. Its for an RCH wagon so I will need to try and find a picture of a non-RCH Bradbury vehicle.

 

I did find that Bradbury and Son were a coal merchants in London and Southampton. In the Hampshire archives there is a copy of a contract for 200 tonnes of steam coal between Bradbuy's and a company in Alton.

I also found that they were base at 7, Victoria Street in London and that they were looking into coaling stations for vehicles:
