I'm always mixing up the class on that car. The well is FW1.

I did a bit of research and found one reference on the web to a PC 766163
as being the well body and PC 766196 as the depressed flat body. If you
read all of the page, he crosses his wires on the class/numbers, so I'm
going to go with what I find in the PC Color Guide and ORER.
Here's the web site:

As for the painting of the well car and loads... I'll just have to keep
looking.
Thanks for the info.
