Plenty of brown ones on Paul's site, from other diagrams. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brhopperhuo "Might have been" is plausible eh. 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were. However, with the introduction of TOPS the TOPS Code became the defining factor - it was more accurate as it also identifies different combinations of air, vac, and piped only - and sometime after the grey unfitted livery was dropped. By the late 70s all were being painted bauxite when overhauled. I'm puzzled by Porcy's post re a new batch at Shildon in 63 as they should have been grey then, unless of course they were actually a batch of vac fitted ones.

Mark Saunders Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 There was a brief period when there was instructions to paint all wagons Bauxite before changing back to grey for unfitted. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
