Not uniquely - I believe that these wagons were based on a German original. Interesting that the earlier, timber constructon, peaked roof salt wagons seem to have lasted longer than their later replacements.

The Germans seem quite keen on this type of wagon, but BR had a couple of types; variations on the idea were use on aggregate transport to Chichester, limestone to Montrose, colliery waste to Goole and , of course, iron ore to Consett. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't already have too many unfinished projects I would be seriously tempted to model these salt wagons, perhaps with a custom etch. They are so distinctive and different from the norm, and not well known at all. Yet fairly local to me, it wouldn't be ridiculously far-fetched to have one turn up on the banks of the MSC. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's dated 8 April 1961 and the train is apparently destined for Birkenhead docks. Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
