I’m not convinced it’s unique but the only one with a known photograph!

 

Plenty of brown ones on Paul's site, from other diagrams.  https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brhopperhuo 

 

"Might have been" is plausible eh. 🙂

Mine arrived yesterday, well packed and safely delivered.  It really is a beautiful product from the sprung buffers to the box.  10/10!

This and the triple pack R arrived this morning. 

 

Beautiful product as we are now becoming accustomed. Just need my Manor and 5544 to start playing trains.

 

Thanks Accurascale

On a separate issue, I had always remembered unfitted wagons being painted grey and vacuum fitted ones painted bauxite. 

 

Yes, they were.

However, with the introduction of TOPS the TOPS Code became the defining factor - it was more accurate as it also identifies different combinations of air, vac, and piped only - and sometime after the grey unfitted livery was dropped. By the late 70s all were being painted bauxite when overhauled.

 

I'm puzzled by Porcy's post re a new batch at Shildon in 63 as they should have been grey then, unless of course they were actually a batch of vac fitted ones.

There was a brief period when there was instructions to paint all wagons Bauxite before changing back to grey for unfitted.

Are we going to have a rerun on these hopper wagons also.
