i seem to rember on LMS DT the vacuum brake was on the side wal (ie no window and regulator was on the LH window not Central but i was only 16 years old in 1964 was when i stopped going to school by push pull on this LMS biult one

Here is LCGB photo 1966 on the internal views of M24449M a BR built Driving Trailer with the BR side LHS window (none of RHS) Any LMS Driving trailer would not have the side vehicle and from memory of cab rides in early 1960s the hand brake was more central and i dont remember the central window having the ??? Brake controler if thats what it is,, Can others interest confirm what they think controls are which i think are Left to Right ?? regualtor, ??sander?? Vacuum on window Electric Horn, Hand operated Windscreen wiper, Hand brake in the foreground by the adjustable seat or in the central controler the regulator?

non gangway suburban BR livery first appears as full Crimson(carmine) and was lined as per blood and custard corridor stock but lining was soon discontinued to save money, The Maroon 1956 non gangway first appear unlined but shortly after started to be lined like maroon corridor stock.

I know this thread is long closed but my local push pull was M24460M AND IT HAD DUCKETS being converted after it went into service

This is a photo of BEL 1 as oriiginally biult as 1550 by MR with three windows like the North Staff BE, Does anypne know if the 1550 was rebiult in LMS days or BR days? ie do i biuld a three window version or four window version

As i am self isolating I have set myself a task of making a small Halt modeled on Radcliffe halt just of the Oxford To Verney Junction line, Can any one give me link to a supplier or ideas of how to construct the simple post and Oil lamps house used on the halt, you see them on lots of small stations in the 1950s rather that gas style lamps.. part photo of radcliffe station showing style of lamps

There are diffrences in the van door layout between Lot diagrams but the major change is that the BR 1949/50 have an additional window, the period 111 last lms sets had no duckets and upright vacuum and motor pipes, whereas the post lms 1949/50 BR biult P&P had mark1 low vacuum and motor pipes and a window between the guards/driver door and the carriage end

Thanks Jim. i purchased a copy of your book off ebay and it has all my needs, nice book to read as i remember T stock

thanks all, Jim's met book is on my wish list

i have three LT pannier and want to model a few more London Transport wagons but there is a dearth of LT RTR wagons. and even fewer photos, i have only found one or two in months of searching, (see screen dumps) RTR are all BW Ballast Wagons, this appears to be a pre 1907 RCH wagon (8 or 10 tons next to a 1907RCH wagon SL932 or is it L932, i assume SL for Steam loco or could it be a faded SW (Stores Wagon) with L for loco. Has anyone any other detail of the LT and MET Rly numbering system, i have see TW ?? track waste or train Waste. They had a resonable small fleet of dark grey 7 plank coal wagons Any ideas of links would be helpful

is yours 4mm scale or 7mm scale, i built a george norton 7mm kit but need to regear it and re-engine (also repaint as it was in midland livery and i now model 1950s)
