Another Midland van variant almost ready for service

The Midland van has now been through the paint shop, I have weathered it using the many photos in Essery’s Midland wagons book (vol 1).

Looking at them, almost all the photos in pre 1937 livery show that they got pretty grubby in service. I just need to make up and blacken the couplings and it’s finished.
