Furness Railway to 1923

wagon light grey), roofs probably grey when new quickly degenerating to a grey
colour, and white lettering.
London Midland and Scottish 1923 to 1948
Up to 1937 grey, black iron work beneath the solebar with white lettering.
From 1937 body colour was bauxite, black iron work beneath the solebar with
white lettering. The size of the lettering was reduced as an economy measure
during the Second World War.
British Railways from 1948
Many unfitted wagons bare timber or painted grey, lettering white on a black
patch. No body iron work was painted black. Fitted stock bauxite with solebars
often black, roofs dark grey; white lettering.
