RMweb Gold Brinkly Posted February 25, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2023 Greetings, I'm after a bit of help. I have a rather nice photograph of a D.86/87 LNER General Van at Brixham during the summer of 1950 taken from a very interesting article by Steve Banks. I've got a D&S kit for this prototype, which was obtained purely because of this photo. Looking at the livery, I suspect it is still in pre-nationalised scheme of LNER red oxide. However, I am no expert! Can anyone shed any additional details on the livery and lettering - that I have no idea about! Does anyone sell transfers for this type? Any assistance would be most useful! Regards, Nick. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 It looks toally filthy no obvious lettering anywhere.

It isn't clear but I suspect that is where it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
