Not on W251 (but note painted dimensions data panel):— W6265W:— I agree that there's something going on with the disc, but not with the numbers. Single numbers make more sense to me than bespoke plates as it's just simpler. The GW were "penny conscious" so sending an order to the foundry for a couple of buckets of twos & zeros would be less wasteful. The Strange Yellow Circle is a route restriction symbol. Details as per @The Stationmaster's post. Centenary & Ocean Saloons at 9'-3" were Red Triangle & restricted to a very few routes. The examples I've seen were all cast (without a backing plate) & held on by three countersunk screws. Pete S.

Sometime during the Lake era was the best I came up with - probably post WW1. They're cast iron & screwed direct onto the panels - I've never seen any with a backing plate. Pete S.

Also... look beyond the letters (maann). There's a building behind the photographer that's reflecting in the glass & it too appears to be unmolested. P

This stuff: https://www.toolstation.com/prodec-advance-sanding-mesh-115mm-x-5m/p41259 Cut to size, although pre-cut sheets are also available: https://www.toolstation.com/search?q=Sanding+Mesh Doesn't clog anywhere near as much as paper, & if/when it does it'll unclog with a stiff brush or a blast under the tap. The 5 metre roll is actually 10 metres as you can use both sides. Lasts for ages.

The Express Dairies livery was originally applied purely because there were good reference photos in one of Russell's wagon books. IIRC it carried a fleet number "42" as Hitch Hikers' Guide to the Galaxy was all the rage at the time. The ED error was repeated when I repainted & re-lettered it as someone (possibly the late John Hosegood) had talked ED's marketing department into funding the whole enterprise. Part of that funding was a requirement to apply their new logo to the tank ends. If we'd known it had been a UD tanker at the time, things may have been different (subject to getting sponsorship). A similar deal led to O.11 19818 wearing Foster Yeoman livery for a while - they stumped up for all the timber. Pete Speller. C&W Dept., GWS Didcot (lapsed)

It doesn't show up in photos as the black keyline is only 1/16" for the 5" lettering & 1/8" for the later 9". I don't know if the BR variant was hand painted or if transfers were manufactured. If they were hand-painted, there's a sporting chance that the black keyline was omitted as it's a right fiddle to do. GW transfers certainly had it - see surviving originals on 4003, 4073, 2516 & 9400. Pete S.

A Partition between a Third Class compartment & a Luggage compartment?

Definitely WILLIAMS PATENT. I reckon there's a rivet at each end which throws the eye off.

No/Yes. The verandah got done in unplaned softwood, the bodyside panels were left alone - replacing these is likely to be a major job, as they're usually a bit more involved than mere steel cladding. Me for one, I remember seeing it happening - c.1990-1992 ish. Pete S. C&W Dept. GWS Didcot (Lapsed).
