dolydd Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I have a brake van that I want to use with engineers' trains (including the Triang Eng Dept clerestory and some old wagons, and a new ballast wagon kit bought for a song at a swapmeet). I can't find any illustration showing the location of the lettering for Engineers Dept on the brake van sides - although I have the HMRS transfers which I'd quite like to use. And does anyone know a suitable number for one (AA15/AA19)? The GWR Soc list doesn't help here. Any info would be much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harveyc Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The AA15 was a design implemented after WW1 and 2 AA15s were put to use on the severn tunnel as possibly with a covered veranda . AA19s were from 1927 heres a picture of AA15 i have although it may not have seen engineers department use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) It is unlikely that this model is a real PW brake, as they were 20ft OH. https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/gwrbrakevan/e24846f32 https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/gwrbrakevan/e3d48b170 Would the GW have had their conventional brake vans written for engineers use?
