Hi Guys 

I think I am having one of those days when the computer does not like me I can't for the life of me find a photo or even better still an OO scale Guinness van wagon.

I am sure someone made them ages ago but do you think I can find them?

I haven't had any luck with photos of  "Guinness" wagons, but have some diagrams that might be useful.

The majority of Guinness traffi(kegs) were transported in standard railway company vans until the traffic was containerised in the late 1960s

Most well known GNR(I) 20T Covered Wagons lettered for Guinness traffic, Alphagraphix may have produced a kit.

There is no published information on whether the 1915 wagons carried Guinness lettering
