Larbert. The second van is one of the Palvans built for the MoD, I believe. 

 

 

 

37278 Pentrepoeth

Pentreporth (Cynheidre branch) These trains had a number of stops to pin and unpin brakes, so were allowed several hours for a journey of perhaps 10 miles. I saw at least three runaways where guard or driver misjudged the number of brakes to pin down. Fortunately, none ran on to the main-line, though one ended up in the sand drag at Old Castle Crossing.

Nice line up across the back...and a slope sider hiding round the back...

 

Nice application of the stripe on the Ex MoT 16 tonner. 

 

So; Should I redo my stripe???

Seventeen Shades of Grey ?

 

Could well exceed the fifty if I pulled out some other manufacturers grey enamels and that's before I even think about the acrylics & cellulose.

Still wouldn't be anywhere near sorting this little lot out.

I like independent braked one 6th from front. Looks like a completely different grey on the centre third of it!

They were built as 20T, but weren't minerals raised in capacity by 10% during the war?

I thought 20-tonners were uprated to 21 tons, then becoming 21.5 tonnes with metrication. Mind you, when I had to go through hundreds of weighbridge tickets, I never saw anything that was loaded according to the painted mark.....

A couple of 16 tonners re-purposed as ZHVs - DB266391 shows the body side cut outs to prevent over loading whilst DB572902 has not been so treated, both seen at Springs Branch 16th March 1985.

They are probably rust holes which have been opened out!
