‘The Stratford Upon Avon & Midland Junction Railway’ (or S.M.J.) was a small independent railway company which ran a line across the empty, untouched centre of England. It visited the counties of Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and a little of Buckinghamshire, only existing as the SMJ from 1909 to 1923 . In 1923 the S.M.J.became a minor arm of the London Midland and Scottish (L.M.S.), then in 1948 'British Railways' -

Simon Dunkley commented on Dick's page East & West Junction and SMJR liveries
"There is a lovely maker's photo of a timber bolster wagon, taken about 1903/4 time (and therefore out of copyright), which shows the EWJR carriage livery very well. It also shows a missing full-stop after the E! "

"Simon That's interesting and thanks very much  for your livery info which I will incorporate into the main article. Excuse my ignorance but what does HMRS stand for and what exactly was a steward for the same? Dick"
