The Midland would have painted it Denby pottery cream with the framing picked out in Venetian red (aka chocolate) and possibly black door fittings, if it is considered as a station building; if it is considered to be a signalling building, then substitute lemon chrome - a much more yellow colour - for the cream.

I'm surprised the crew, let alone the engine could breath with that amount of deposits around. Maybe they were supplied with breathing gear!

There were a couple of hundred 10' ISO boxes built for Freightliner in 1967/8. but I don't think this is one. The lifting lug at the non-door end is very different to the ISO Twistlock. I've seen firms advertising professionally re-built boxes; I think W H Davies may offer this service. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a standard 10' box (yours for only $1250.00) The one in the posted picture doesn't have the reinforced corner at the far end. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some DMUs had two character- independent winding units. The intercity ones even had the full four. Most DMUs only had bus style single winding units with locations, so unless every combination was included via a humongously long winding reel (!) it wasn’t possible. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
