enginelane Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Looking at those pictures gives me a thought, with all the stupid money being thrown at new build locomotives, I wonder if anyone has had the great idea to "unrebody" some minerals and hoppers? Mike. Interesting thought, many preserved railways have freight wagons seemingly languishing in sidings. I know the GC runs windcutter trains but perhaps it comes down to availability of labour, resources and opportunity to run because if it does not run I think there is no point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy on the platform had come from the works. They used to get told off for putting bodies on the wrong way round. The bodies were all the same way round. Whichever way the wagon came in, on went the body. Edited August 28, 2017 by The Bigbee Line 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I think if you go back several pages it was suggested that Iron Ore Tipplers and 21 ton minerals could be included. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumbly, if we are concerned with flat-bottom Mineral Wagons, 24.5 Tonners are fair game as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
