I came across these 2 drawings yesterday. Both dated 15th Jan '24.
Original JPGS are available if you need them.

One of my LNER related photos that is a bit hidden away in my Flickr sets is this one of a LNER four-wheeled wagon. It was at the North Woolwich Railway Museum which I am fairly sure is no more.

Why Red wheels and White wheels?

Very nice - the Float looks identical to the Midland Railway one at NRM York.
The one at North Woolwich doesn't appear on the Railway horse-drawn vehicle register;

It could just be that the white is primer. The offside rear wheel is red. It was a very small and not very well funded museum and most of their full-scale exhibits were 'work-in-progress'.

I'm sure the vehicle from N. Woolwich will still be in existence somewhere - I guess the East Anglian RM. The Museum authorities were scrupulous about finding homes for all the exhibits when it closed.
