Built by the North eastern railway to dia V6 and continued by the LNER as dia 35 Possibly only 2 examples!

I think they were engineers blue but the one usually standing in the whinestone loading siding at Goathland is bauxite.

 

Hope this helps.

LNER diagram 35 differs from NE dia V6 in deeper end windows, buffers and small LNER pattern grab handles. The 203 had steel duckets and a steel underframe with trusses. From what I can make out far less roof embelishments aswell. If its a kit you aim to produce parts could be provided for both 35 and 203.

Shame it's not 4mm

There will be a drawing of 203 in the next Tatlow book , part 4B based on the dimensions we took of 301559. Note that these wagons are BR wagons, I await seeing what Peter T has written about how they were finished when newly built but they were a 1948 build.

I am really stumped by this then, I think I may stick to 203 and put a fake livery option in the kit. Unless anyone knows of an older type that lasted into BR and that photo's and drawing exist for?

 

Paul do you know when this book is due out?

No, Wild Swan are VERY slow. I believe they have had the manuscript for some considerable time.  I think it is his son ?? whom sometimes comments about Peter's books on RMWeb.

I don't understand this comment, isn't there still one on the NYMR? I realise this photo is 40 years ago (good grief :O ) http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/lnerbrake/e31991051

I have given you all the info above,  Richard?

Micks very nice model is NE dia V6 but with LNER small grab handels but there is no accounting for variations over time.

LNER engineers stock was blue, BR repaints could have been what ever was available due to the age of the stock. 

My rather poor attempt is bassed on the Dia V6 still on the NYMR, although I haven't been there (yet)  it can be seen in many photographs.

Thanks for the link Paul, great site by the way.

The fact that the water tower is grey back dates this pic a good 12 years or more.

Hi Paul Thank you for details of the book, I really want to do a kit that covers LNER and BR, 203 is BR only. I am awaiting news about another book then will have a rethink.

Which is why I didn't understand the comment, as there is one from earlier on that survived to be preserved. It appears to still exist, http://www.ws.vintagecarriagestrust.org/ws/WagonInfo.asp?Ref=7390

 so is available for measuring.
