Thanks  Pat,

I was aware of this but considering that Baldwin Br. image I had to wonder if there were a few painted Black before the wholesale repaints.  I base that assumption on NZR practice of same, bringing out a rebuilt class or new class of wagons in a different scheme, often debuing awhile earlier. The two cars together do have a much darker tone that the far away car.


Jim,

I think the use of Stockcars for hauling coal was for better car utilisation more than wishing to keep the lading dry.
