Model Forum / General / Railroads / November 2008Tevan Decals
I have a O gauge Parkside Tevan which I wish to letter in BR. However the XP rating decals are only in red. Was this correct for BR period or is it a goof by the normally excellent Parkside. Also doe anyone have a colour pic of tevan in BR livery on the web. Thanks David >I have a O gauge Parkside Tevan What pray tell is a Tevan? In 40 years as a railway enthusiast I've never heard the expression before. John. > What pray tell is a Tevan? In 40 years as a railway enthusiast I've never > heard the expression before. I have GWR 'Tevan' Goods Van (diag V32) Parkside kit PS48 These van converted from Mica Insulated Vans (x9) in 1938. They carried Tea and coffee from the Lyons Depot at Greenford until the 1960's Picture of open in GWr livery can be found at http://thebaileygallery.fotopic.net/p10837504.html The is an article in the last MRJ about them.

No, definitely in the heart of GWR territory. Pete  Signaturehttp://www.bristol-rail.co.uk: Railways around Bristol. >> > What pray tell is a Tevan?

Thanks for the corrections to my post. Although I'm sure I read somewhere that there was a chocolate factory in the vicinity of the ex-MR line through Mangotsfield - if I haven't imagined this, which firm was it?

That's the Carsons factory. Just visible in the background in this photo: http://www.bristol-rail.co.uk/images/mangotsfield11.jpg The factory has now been flattened and is a housing estate.
