Notes

The "OIL" markings were common in the early years of the use of oil axleboxes, and identified that the wagon was fitted with oil axleboxes rather than the then traditiional grease ones. One marking was located on the solebar over (or at least near) each axlebox, often being tucked under the curved washer plate for the W-irons. Because of this restricted location, the decals are designed to be smaller in height the usual solebar decals. Also, if you select a set of these decals you will receive 4 decals rather than the usual 2.

The date markings were sometimes used on the wagon solebar of private owner wagons, often near or over one axlebox on each side. They are assumed to record the date of some sort of maintenance operation, and usually included letter(s) in place of numbers in either the first or third position to identify the opreation, with the month and year of the date occupying thd other two. The "OILED" date markings are common examples of such markings for a specific purpose – to record the date the axlebox oil was last checked.

The corner number markings were used in later years on tank wagons, presumably to identify specific corners of a wagon. They were located at the ends of the solebars. Again, if you select a set of these decals you will receive 4 decals rather than the usual 2.
