A Gauge 1 tinplate model of a Greaves Lime or Cement wagon
in East and West Junction Railway livery. On the side of the wagon is the
legend 'Empty to Ettington'. This was a typical instruction on many Private
Owner wagons requesting the wagon to be returned to its home depot. The
reference to 1909 on the plate on the solebar would in normal circumstances
relate to the builder of the wagon. It maybe, as this is a model wagon, the
manufacturer has used the numerals as a symbolic gesture to the cessation of
the East & West Junction Railway as in 1909 it became part of the Stratford
Midland Junction Railway. Its not known how accurate the livery is but as it
was manufactured pre-1914, the manufacturer's would have access to information
very recently in the public domain.
