Does anyone have any pictures of LMS D1666s Opens in the post 1936 Bauxite livery with small lettering?

 

Thanks in advance for any help

I’ve built two of these in this livery from the Cambrian kit and can vouch for photographic evidence in the book mentioned. Some were rated 13 tons during the war.

The Midland Railway Study Centre's copy of the drawing, item 88-D2113 here, has been amended in red ink to show the size and positioning of lettering for the 1936 livery - or at least, what the Drawing Office intended.

ALL twelve ton opens - to RCH Standards - should have been uprated to 13T ( similarly 20T to 21T ).
