Cattle Wagons LMS D1944
2mm Scale Association 2-606 LMS/BR Cattle Wagon
The LMS persisted for many years with wooden framed cattle wagons to a MR design (covered by other Association kits). Only in 1935 did it produce a single batch of 100 with steel framing, to a new diagram D1944. These were numbered 710000-719999. They had 8 shoe vacuum brakes. Following nationalisation, BR built a further 1350 to diagram 1/350 in 1949, some of which had LNER pattern brakegear. These were numbered B890000-B891249 and B891400- B891499
