The LNER Encyclopedia

Late last year I backdated a Parkside BR 12 ton Pipe Wagon to an LNER version.


I primed it but for various reasons didn't get any further with painting it. I have now got the top coat on and once I have re-done the underframe I need to add transfers.

At the minute I don't have a copy of LNER wagons part 4B which I assume covers these because the others don't and wondered if some kind soul could tell me what year they were built from so that I can add either pre or post 1937 transfers and ideally a running number?


Many thanks for any assistance that you might be able to offer.

Dia. 103 built 1936 nos. 187822-71 and Dia. 127 built 1937 and 1948 nos. 204297-396 and 296945-7014. Post-1937 seems favourite.

A definite reason for favouring post '37 is that the BR dia 461 followed directly from the LNER dia 127, the later slightly wider version of the two LNER type.

Many thanks Gents, post 1937 it shall be.
