Although now both long out of print I’m afraid, a couple of references you might want to look out for are:

 

The 4mm Wagon Part 2, by Geoff Kent, which includes Cattle Vans; has a selection of images of BR and GW vehicles, and also describes Geoff’s work with the Airfix and Cooper Craft kits.

 

Also, British Railway Wagons Cattle & Brake Vans, compiled by G. Gamble.  One image of a GW W12 (in BR livery), two of BR 1/352’s and three of BR 1/353’s including a colour image of B894149, built in 1952 and already condemned in 1966.

I tend to scour Ebay for things like this.

 

My carriage book selection is bonkers.

Amazon is also a good place to find these sorts of books 2nd hand, lots of book shops reselling through there on the Marketplace.

Did you look at the sample page on the link? It’s just about legible.
