Missing information and other container types[edit]

I have no information on the dimensions of the larger containers.

There are pictures in GWR Company Servants(Russell, 1983) pp 199-200 of steel containers about 4 foot cubed, used for coal and ore.

There are pictures of (presumably from the period 1900-1910) in Edwardian Enterprise (Norris et al, 1987) showing containers in Newbury Station (p 33), painted "NEWBERY'S[sic] FURNITURE READING", and in Reading yard (p 197), painted "C & G. AYRES G.W.R. AGENTS READING". These may be GWR or third party containers. -- Verbarson ^talk_edits 21:50, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
