I suspect it may have been a Vegetable that likes sneaking to the Prefects. Thus I get humiliated, which isn't unusual but pi$$es me off.

Jack P Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hello chaps, apologies for the intrusion. I picked these up recently, and wanted to know if one of you could advise the appropriate livery for 1947 condition (if they were still around then!)

If they did survive to 1947 (I'm sure I've seen a picture of one), they would of lost the step boards and been in very dirty war time brown, possibly with a GWR Coat of Arms and that's about it. 1 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have built the brake third, the photo I found to work from (which had shortened steps) was in all over brown with GWR over crest, if you havent built any before beware of the bogies (which are a pretty poor design). Mine isnt actually in service yet as I want to rebuild said bogies with traditional pinpoint axles rather than the supplied compensation units. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium TrevorP1 Posted September 22, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 22, 2021 Being on this thread costs you money! A few days ago Rob posted a link to Wessex Wagons and their Cornish Collection. Well I couldn't resist and these two arrived today. They are Dapol wagons with an historic livery applied. Whether the livery is correct for the type of wagon I have no idea but the livery is authentic for 'my' area. By the 1950s ex PO wagons would of course have extremely well worn liveries and the plan is to keep one side pristine and heavily weather the side that shows plus BR 'P' numbers etc. Parkyn and Peters will likely stand in the siding at the clay dry whilst the other will join one of the clay trains on it's way up the branch. I can't see this type of wagon being used for clay so I'm thinking of coal or some kind of sheeted load. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also many had been converted from gas to electric lighting. That would have involved replacing gas cylinders with battery boxes and dynamos. 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
