dvdlcs Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) From this topic, there is a link to a film featuring Whitemoor Yard in 1963. At 08:28 to approximately 08:48 there is a 9F moving a rake of 16t minerals with what looks like signboards on their side. I haven't seen anything like that before, and I don't believe that it has been mentioned in this thread. I'm not able to make out what is written on the boards, does anyone know?

Adam Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 From <a href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/130589-whitemoor-yard-1963-film/">this topic</a>, there is <a href="http://www.eafa.org.uk/catalogue/205507">a link</a> to a film featuring Whitemoor Yard in 1963. At 08:28 to approximately 08:48 there is a 9F moving a rake of 16t minerals with what looks like signboards on their side. I haven't seen anything like that before, and I don't believe that it has been mentioned in this thread. I'm not able to make out what is written on the boards, does anyone know? They're presumably subject to some sort of experimental fitting, it isn't immediately clear (to me) what. These are fitted minerals - note the triangular marking showing the location of the cord to release the vacuum on the doors - and from the odd colour picture I've seen, the panels would have been yellow. On the rare occasion I've been able to read the lettering on pictures, experiments included a particular type of instanter and disc brake fittings. There were presumably plenty more.

Dowty Auto Couplers, Vac fitted and Dowty buffers too. Those that were tested on the North Eastern & Scottish Regions had a different style of branding but as Adam says, black writing on yellow panels.

Not the Experimental Dowty autocoupler type. They were drawn from different builders and lot numbers from the 1957 build program. They retained their vac brakes which also auto connected between wagons, the vacuum connector being integral within the coupling mechanism.

P Sorry- these were a test build for Westinghouse air-brake with automatic self adjustment. I have seen a photo somewhere of a Vanfit with an autocoupler- was that part of the Dowty trials?
