HGR Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 XP rated vehicles had the XP brand moved to a box to the right of the vehicle number. Some other wagons had just the empty box - example many coal hoppers and mineral wagons. Others had no box at all. Some oddities were the BOILER EB set and COIL T wagons that had the box with a diagonal line. What was the significance of the diagonal line, the empty box or no box ? There was some sort of short lived use of numbers in these boxes as a train classification system. Does anyone have any details please ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGR Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Thanks for that. The speed classification number I seem to remember also could be above the otherwise empty box, instead of within. Still intrigued what the box with diagonal line indicates ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
