    Thanks very much Shaun for these very helpful extra details, and logical argument as to why these vans may well have been grey. I think I will keep my Bachman version in grey, especially as I already have the older Dapol version which is in bauxite - at least one of them will be right!

    Thanks very much Simon, that's very helpful. I'll keep one of the large-lettered LMS vans I've got in that livery, with some suitable weathering.

    At least it doesn't sport the large logos! Talking of the large logos, do you think it would be prototypical to have some large logo, grey liveried LMS vans running around post-war albeit it a rather weathered state?

    Thanks Andy for this further insight, it looks like I will have to buy a tin of bauxite paint after all!

    Thanks very much Steve, that's very helpful. It seems it's another case of livery practice not following policy. I have one of these wagons in GWR livery and bought the LMS one to inject a bit of variety into the goods stock on my GWR layout. Thanks to your info, I will keep the LMS one as it is apart from some weathering.

    I've got one of these vans and have been wondering if it's carrying the correct livery. I know very little about LMS stock, but from web searches I understand that these vans were built by the SR for the LMS in 1942 and allocated LMS diagram 2078. I understand that the LMS adopted its bauxite livery for goods stock in 1936 hence I'm wondering if the grey livery applied by Bachmann on its model of this 1942-built van is correct. I would certainly be very grateful for any guidance any better-informed members can provide.
