I received my 42' LX wagon about a week ago-I was impressed about the quality and finish of the material,

It was an easy model to finish after priming and painting and the bogies were fitted,

Here are two photos of the nearly finished wagon with transfers and couplings left to be done.

I would have purchased more but thanks to the team at IRM I will wait until their model is released.

Found a nice picture from  the O'Dea collection from April 1971 of some new 42'wagons on trial hauled by A3R.

Wow, the buffer faces are massive.

What was the diameter of the round buffers they were originally supplied with?

What's the difference between 42LP and 42LX flats?

I think the 42' wagons are LP's and the 47'6" are LX or Modified LX.

Explained in this post by people a lot more knowledgeable than me
