Morning all.
As an ignorant fella, I'm hoping from some assistance from the much more learned folks who inhabit these parts please.....
I've a couple of GWR wagons which I could do with a hand identifying. Firstly a one-plank (Parkside kit I think) and then a six plank open wagon (I'm lead to believe this is from the Coopercraft stable). See photos below.
Basically, my query is to whether either type of wagon survived into BR days? If so, what kind of livery would they have carried? I'm presuming freight grey for the latter. I am not sure on the parentage or type of wagons apart from the fact they are of GWR origin.
Apologies for asking such a basic question. As always, I'm completely embarrassed by my lack of prototype knowkedge.
Many thanks in anticipation for any help which can be provided.
All the best,
Dave
