I have myself received the four LSWR/SR brake vans currently available, and whilst the goods brown did weather a bit lighter, the colour of Hornby's vans is definitely bauxite, and the solebars are black - this is LMS livery. Interestingly the latest Bachmann MR brake van in 'late LMS' livery is dark brown with brown solebars!! Have they been made in the same factory and the livery instructions got crossed?! LSW/SR goods brown was darker than the GWR brown used on passenger rated vans, and that is darker than the Hornby vans!!
