John,

Re. your comment on L&Y five plank open wagons with (side &) 2 end doors, did you mean the early (1904-1910) Dia.63 21ft 6" ones (1,310 built), or the post 1910 20ft Dia.81/Dia.83 (steel underframe) of which there was a total of over 5,000 built (some as part of the war effort)? Both the D81 & D83 bodies were the same, some of the D.81 were vacuum fitted, plus there was a change in the end door fastening around 1914.

With such a large fleet then maybe this wagon does justify Kit in G3! I have copies of the relevant GAs (though the one for the D63 is a bit faint) so maybe we could discuss at the York ALSRM show?

Derek.

Hello Derek and All

No hard feelings ether way . A distinctave and iconic wagon built in fair numbers with a long life and diffrent from the R.C.H. P.O. wagon . So should show up well in a train
