So is this unpainted and you have to apply all the transfers yourself?

 

No.

 

I removed your previous abrasive post and this one nearly went the same way.

My initial thought was “Huh?”, but then looking at the photo on the certificate it is easy to see how the question could arise!

While I would like to support the Guild’s initiative, these are definitely east of England based wagons.

How likely would it be that these would ever have been seen in GWR territory?

Their supplies didn’t come from the Acle Marshes coalfield! It had to come from pits somewhere and as the GWR had their fare share of them, these could have been just as likely seen on their metals as anywhere else.

I doubt it.

Given that the MOY depots are in Colchester and Peterborough and there were many coal mines much closer than any in GWR territory I doubt very much that they or their customers would have paid the extra transportation costs to obtain Forest or Welsh coal, no matter the quality.
