The accident was on the Axholme Joint Railway (owned 50/50 by the L&Y and NER) at Reedness Junction station, the only other details listed are that the engine (L&Y Class 25 number 950) ran away down hill when it’s vacuum brakes failed and the van was somehow damaged as a result. Thank you ever so much though for taking the time to write a thorough reply and suggesting that it is a D357 after all, I’m modelling the Axholme pre Great War around 1911 ish so I’m wanting to model a few of the wagons that got into a spot of bother on the system and adding a bit of variety into the L&Y and NER wagons is key. I looked at your MR van models at Warley show a few months ago and noticed you had a D357 present from the skaters kit, did you modify it in anyway or was it built as it comes roughly?
thanks,
Lewis
