Nigel N 36 Posted May 9, 2018 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??? -Nigel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eastwestdivide 8,104 Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) 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 Edited May 9, 2018 by eastwestdivide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Y 37,104 Posted May 9, 2018 Both have four wheels. Compare and contrast with the real thing. Mark it 'China Clay Only' and stick a coal load in - nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel N 36 Posted May 9, 2018 Thanks for that!! I guess heavy weathering would improve it!!!! -Nigel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carderrail 4 Posted May 9, 2018 Thanks for that!! I guess heavy weathering would improve it!!!! -Nigel I had some N Gauge Versions (they were incorrect 7 Planks) weathered and they look good. Tony 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adb968008 5,486 Posted May 10, 2018 Don’t forget to change the wheels too.. the real one had discs, not spoked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
