I am about to scratch build various LNWR goods vans c1920, whilst the LNWR Society offer superb info for us modellers, there seems no clear info on the type of under frame used wether wood or steel, is there a simple way of recognising which to use for each design. Peter.

Thanks fellas, feel much better hearing you views, will repaint to nearer medium grey. In response to your comment Alex, it is a kit bash from a Peco kit, one fault is that planking on sides are vertical whereas originals were horizontal, but as a representation of a D93 brake van in n gauge I am comfortable with it. I’m modelling part of the East Leicestershire GN and LNWR Joint line. Once again, thank you all, Peter

I’ve just received a tin let of Phoenix Precision paint “LNWR freight wagon grey” and consider it very dark, yet all ref, images appear as mid grey, any thoughts?

I have started to model the Midland and LNWR Jt. Rly, running from Nuneaton to Ashby de la Zouch, the station is scratch built based on Stoke Golding,  the rolling stock appears to be mostly LNWR but I can't find any details on colour of station doors etc, were these Midland red or LNWR brown, also what style signalling , any help from fellow modellers would be much appreciated , Peter King
