Thanks all,

 

I have a Bachmann model out in the garage pending a repaint (I think I’m right in saying that in int late 40s they were in all over brauxite with MoT branding in the lower corner in the same small script as company owned wagons.

I don’t think I’d noticed just how pronounced the slope was on them.

Some of them would probably have carried that brown livery into the 1960s, when they were scrapped. Stewart and Lloyd had a huge fleet of similar wagons for coal and iron-ore traffic that ran until Corby shut in the 1970s.
