Modelbahn Ltd Edition Wagons

[Nigel N 36]

Some of the Dapol wagons made for Modelbahn are in fictitious liveries, such as the Railfreight van, but some are correct!!

 So....what about the OWV china clay wagon...anyone know if a wagon in this livery existed???

If the dark brown is a representation of unpainted wood and the orangey brown meant to be repainted planks/metalwork, the only thing wrong* is the actual colours! In real life they were covered in a fairly uniform china clay "off-white muck" colour.

OWV-coded 13T opens, including E-prefixed examples, did work china clay traffic. I've a photo on here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=47474#p721298, showing E-prefixed ones.

 

*Another edit: well, I suspect not the only thing wrong! I can't vouch for the accuracy of the model as a 13T E-prefix open - doubt whether spoked wheels would be common on them by the TOPS code period, and I can't see a vacuum cylinder, and I'm a complete novice on brake gear

Both have four wheels.

 

Compare and contrast with the real thing.

 

 

Mark it 'China Clay Only' and stick a coal load in - nice.

Thanks for that!!

 I guess  heavy weathering would improve it!!!!

I had some N Gauge Versions (they were incorrect 7 Planks) weathered and they look good.

Don’t forget to change the wheels too.. the real one had discs, not spoked.
