Hi,
Interested to see that you are modelling the Hull Corporation Electrickery wagon.
There is a photo and more details in PO Wagons V3 by Bill Hudson.
He gives livery details as follows:- Grey Body, partial black ironwork, white letters, black shading. The small lettering reads: "Empty to Hickleton Main Colliery Co. Ltd. Near Doncaster". Underneath that on the floor plank it says: "H&B Rly. Load 12 Tons". All this small lettering is in a lovely italic script.
A couple other refs - MRJ 12 and 15 though these are the usual photos seen elsewhere.
Although I am from Hull originally, I have lived in Derbyshire for over 45 years; the wagon was built at Derbyshire Carriage and Wagon Co, New Whittington Chesterfield, about 10 miles North of where I now live!
All the best,
Kevin
