Garethp8873 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hey guys, I am asking this query on behalf of a friend is mine. Recently my friend has been looking at purchasing one of the OO shapeways 3D printed kits of the GWR Loriot Y wagons, with the intention of the wagon being in BR livery. However with the exception of GWR photos (preservation and pre-preservation) and photos of last surviving example 41990 in it's last days at Bescot, he cannot find anything of either Loriot Y during their BR days. Does anyone here have any ideas or knowledge as to what liveries either 41989/990 would've beared during the BR era? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted March 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 17, 2021 BR unfitted wagon grey with black chassis (if you can call it a chassis on a Loriot) and buffer beams. The wooden deck would be unpainted in early BR days, and of course the wagon number has a W prefix in this livery. The wagons might have retained GW livery for some time after nationalisation.

hmrspaul Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) This is the correct links but I believe he has already mentioned the photos in Bescot. https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/gwrloriotlowmac/ecd70e6b https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/gwrloriotlowmac/e17358fd8 apart from the addition of TOPS code & maintenance panel. Probably not repainted for many years. A most unexpected find! Apparently conserved at the SVR GWR 41990 Machinery Flat built 1939 (rhrp.org.uk) Paul Edited March 17, 2021 by hmrspaul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the type used but I can't remember which of the two was in the film. I'm currently trying to make one from a shortened Mainline 'Crocodile H' body after a case of mazac rot shattered the plastic platform at one end.
