The Science of Numbers
p.133
Back in MRJ 141 there were two excellent articles dealing with the replication of faded former private owner lettering on wooden coal wagons operated by British Railways. But why did they carry such lettering? And was there any pattern to the numbers that they carried, all prefixed P? I have been researching this topic for many years and am getting close to being able to compile a book. It's still a year or two off, so, as an interim and to enhance what David Lane and John Sutton have already written, here is what can be told thus far.
