Hi Time for one of my obscure questions again I'm afraid (I have a few more to come so hopefully if it is quiet at work tonight I might be able to post them.)
My query here is concerned with the classification of the freight trains on the Metropolitan Line in the early 1960s. The Sept 1960 WTT listed them as classes C, E, F, H, J or K. Did LT have their own headlamp arrangements/codes or did they utilise the same layout as BR? I have seen a few variations of the so-called standard arrangements for BR trains so realise that this is potentially a minefield.
Thanks in anticipation for any help.

I would love to see a shot of goods trains on the Northern. I am certain I saw a photo once of a BTH Type 1, later Class 15, that were based either at Hornsey or Stratford, and had trip-cocks fitted?, at Highgate Woods Depot en route to Finsbury Park.

Steam Hauled Freight trains on the Harrow to Quainton Road line used the standard (for the period) Headcodes ,ie- in two of the following positions - over each buffer, in the centre of the buffer beam and at the base of the chimney.
Freight Trains on the Widened and East London Lines used special codes showing the Destination of the train.
Metropolitan Stores Trains between Neasden and Hammersmith showed two white lights over the Right hand (off side) buffer and one under the chimney.
