Midland Railway D401 horsebox, any photos?

Postby essdee » Sun Aug 15, 2021 8:25 pm

I am currently building a MSE kit of the MR D401 horsebox, and having trouble finding any photographs of the prototype?

My MR carriage stock library revealed illustrations of several other horsebox diagrams, and an internet trawl produced two images of finished D401 models, nice enough but not the same.... 'Midland Record' did not feature them.

Can anyone point me at D401 illustrations, please?

Many thanks,

Steve

I don't know if any of these are of the correct type, Steve (scroll down to "LMS-related") - he doesn't give diagram numbers:

Many thanks David - a fascinating compilation of horsebox traffic, well worth browsing through.
On the D401 - very nearly a bullseye; there is a lovely view of the LMS development of the D401!
I will still find this useful for other company's designs, so thank you very much,

Cheers,

Steve

Happy to help, Steve - it's a good resource isn't it?
