I've not seen an ex-LNER Loco Coal wagons with such plain doors before. I wonder what the inscription between the doors says? I recollect seeing an ex-works example in 1969, where someone had gone to great lengths to renew the 'LOCO' lettering on a black panel about midway up the sides; the nearest steam depot had shut five years before..

These have very short hinges and flat (non pressed) doors

Also notice the varying heights on the train of iron ore wagons..

From the same collection, a bit of inside detail;

One thing these images show (and there are some cracking Ladykiller ones earlier in this thread that Michael posted that show some colour and weathering to good effect), is how the 'London Trader' doors are differentiated from the body side. It's one of those things that bug me when I see the RTR versions on layouts.... all the outside detail is there, but the opposite side is a flat wall.

That's why my Bachmann ones are the loaded ones, the Airfix version, with all it's attendant grief, is better for empties for this very reason.
