John Thanks John, that’s a very helpful summary. In the particular case of Oxford’s model of 630616 in LNER condition, however, it sounds from Cwmtwrch‘s description of the photo of this specific number in Tatlow that it should have a conventional Morton 2 shoe on one side set-up, rather than the one shoe on each side type modelled by Oxford. PS - I’ve now seen the photo of 630616 Cwmtwrch mentioned (I’ve found that I have the earlier version of the Tatlow volume it’s in) and it definitely shows the no brakes side of a conventional Morton 2 shoe set-up. So it looks like we have another Oxford Rail LNER wagon brake blunder, at least on this particular running number. Should be fixable by removing one of the shoes and putting it on the other side to join the other, just have to make sure it’s the one going in the right direction!

Dungrange Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I bought a couple of these in Great Eastern Railway livery, so obviously at least one of these will need to be renumbered. Any recommendations for transfers both for the bodyside numbers and the number on the solebar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frames need painting grey anyway so mine have currently been left repainted without such details until I can find a suitable works plate. - James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
