MoD wagon livery

[JMORG]

Hi all,
I've got an IP MoD box van that needs minor repair. I've considered repainting the whole wagon into the correct RNAD livery.
Does anyone have any information on the livery used by the RNAD? IP has light grey and black steelwork but I'm not sure if this is correct as I have seen some wagons in a dark (almost GWR) grey...[/i]

Don't forget that before the days of computer-controlled paint formulation, 'standard' colours could and did vary considerably. Add to that the patina and fading of age and use, and a GW grey van could very well end up looking much lighter.

If it's any help, the vans we had at Butterley came in rattlecan primer grey with (very rusty) black ironwork. The 3 vans hadn't been run for years (we had to re-gauge them) but the brake had.

Not a great shot, but here's 2 ex-RNAD Trecwn vans (behind the locos) at Leadhills which have been subjected to Mother Nature's worst for some years now.
