LMS Gloucester metal bodied van pictures needed

[geoff_nicholls]

I've been given the sides and ends of an LMS Diag 1828 Gloucester-built van, bur don't have any drawings. does anyone know where there are drawings of the underframe? Or even good clear photos?
Also did they survive into BR days? I model BR late 50's early 60's.

Official Drawings of LMS Wagons number 1 Wild Swan 1996, has a photograph of a van built to this diagram by Metro Cammell, as well as a general arrangement drawing. An Illustrated History of LMS wagons Vol 1 by R.J.Essery OPC 1981 has a copy of the diagram, and a photo of one at Horwich dated 1964.

Thanks Paul,
as an aside, does anyone have a copy of Official Drawings of LMS Wagons number 1 to get rid of? Or could send me a scan of the contents page?
I have a British library reader's card, but they've lost their copy
i'll follow up the other references.
