Page 75 The Long Boxed Locos – in the paragraph dealing with ‘Box End Stamps’ or ‘labels’ – mention needs to be made of a decision in early 1992 to re-use some of the previously stamped ‘Long Box’ loco box lids. Rather than over-labelling the 1st stamping, as they had previously done, the box end stamping was covered with a very neatly applied ‘Tippex’ type material (believed to be Tampo Printing white tape). The new identity was then stamped over the top of this tape. Both standard and ‘Limited Edition’ boxes were re-stamped in this way. Some of the ‘Tippex’ tape has since become very brittle and on some boxes it has broken away to reveal the original stamps underneath. This tape was not used on ‘unused’ boxes and the locos W2312 to W2316 were fitted with one-end typed labels as mentioned on Page 90.

No. 2224 2-8-0 8.F. GOODSPage 53 With the introduction of the new loco ‘Clan Line’ – the 1st box stamp incorrectly described the loco as “W.2238 – 4-6-2 West Country – B.R. “ The loco is of course a Merchant Navy Class. This box stamp was re-worded when the error was discovered.
Page 119 In the list of late variations to the box stamps in the format ‘W.number’ ADD - W.4657. On page 120 against W4657 add -The original stamp was altered in the last 18 months or so of production to read "W.4657 – MILK WAGON – ‘U.D.’ " During 1991 and 1992 there were only 37 models of this wagon produced. On page 128, in Table (xix) add against W4657 – W.4657 Dot Stamp and then under ‘Difference to Previous Issue’ insert ‘Box Stamp’. This change should increase the interest and therefore the value of those 37 late issue wagons – possibly to around £65.

On Page 128, in Table (xix) under the item W5019 add - W.5019 Dot Stamp and then under ‘Difference to Previous issue’ add ‘New Box stamp and Tare Weight reads “6 Tons Tare 8-7” – add a value of £125.

The wagon was presumably produced during 1984 in the year where there were no production records available."
