GOODS WAGONS: Until 1908, company ownership was shown only by two white diamonds per side. The smaller size was used on very low sided wagons, e.g. twin timber trucks (which also had diamonds on either side of the bolsters). Tare weight shown as e.g. 4.18.2 at bottom of solebar above left hand axleguard in smallest size (2???") nos. Wagon number on sides normally only as a cast iron plate (except cattle trucks), but repeated on ends in second size (4") nos. After 1908 company letters LNWR introduced (size to suit vehicle). The painting of diamonds ceased about 1915. Many coal wagons lettered e.g. 8 TONS COAL WAGON along top, plank. Tonnages also shown e.g. 6 TONS on some covered and open goods wagons. Brake vans lettered with depot or service (e.g. BUXTON, or CREWE & CARLISLE) on first plank above bottom rail of side. Ballast wagons usually lettered with division lettering (e.g. SD, NWD, ED etc.,) in 15" or 12" letters. Black lettering is for white painted refrigerator vans. These notes can give only general guidance, so please bear in mind the many variations, especially on goods stock, and work to photographs where possible. Remember that styles often continued in service many years after the official date of change.
