Wickham Green too Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 May be an optical illusion - but I'd say the windows on 14901 are a tad deeper than those on 1883 ........... compare them with the hinge spacing - and the wider gap between window frame and lining ( the narrower gap looks about the same ).

RMweb Premium MJI Posted August 16, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 16, 2023 I would like confirmation of the loco on the E1883 train as I am 95% sure I saw it same day. If 47549 I have the whole set written down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting one Bucoops, it's almost like it's half rebuilt/modified like the others- from left to right- big window halved and built up at the bottom like a rebuild. The plain window behind the bar panelled over like rebuild, big window in situ as per original then smaller plain window panelled over like rebuild then windows for saloon as per normal. If it was departmental mods post withdrawal then why would the modifications be nearly the same as the rebuilds? Weird one Cheers Jamed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flood Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) A very subtle one here: The second sleeper from the left (3rd coach from the left) isn't a Mk1. It's either W619M or W624M, LMS design dia 2169 built 1952, in their last summer of service.
