As long I have been taking photos of 99965, it's always been in the wagon. The other one I would say was for a narrow gauge loco but which I cannot say which. @Blandford1969 would you know at all? Sorry no idea about the boiler. Nice job on the inner! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel newling Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 A plea Corbs, could you please number the sacktruck doored versions in the 94601-50 running number series as O28s? That way, there would be no question about whether that particular O16 had been modified or not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Can you tell me the axle length please? Would like to know as it can make converting the gauge to EM easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to know as it can make converting the gauge to EM easier. All my other Rapido wagons have standard 26 mm axles and took Gibsons readily. Watch the bearings when changing wheelsets, though, as I've had a couple of them fall out. Edited August 16 by Dunsignalling Correction 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are pretty much locked in with the current running numbers but it would be useful to have any on file for future runs etc. If it is useful these ones were photographed with sack truck doors in the livery shown: 964002 - No. 94867 25" G W - b & w photo in train with LMS 5-plank and round-ended SR wagon 964004 - No.99965 - 16" G W - as preserved 964011 - No.W94920 - BR (W) TUBE - b & w photo in goods yard 964012 - No.W94864 - BR Grey - as preserved The post-36 and post-42 liveries are based on those seen on other similar wagons at the same time. Hope that helps! 2 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
