One of my LNER related photos that is a bit hidden away in my Flickr sets is this one of a LNER four-wheeled wagon. It was at the North Woolwich Railway Museum which I am fairly sure is no more.

Very nice - the Float looks identical to the Midland Railway one at NRM York.

The one at North Woolwich doesn't appear on the Railway horse-drawn vehicle register;

Happy to help with anything relating to the railways in the First World War, just ask

Why Red wheels and White wheels?

It could just be that the white is primer. The offside rear wheel is red. It was a very small and not very well funded museum and most of their full-scale exhibits were 'work-in-progress'.

I'm sure the vehicle from N. Woolwich will still be in existence somewhere - I guess the East Anglian RM. The Museum authorities were scrupulous about finding homes for all the exhibits when it closed.
