Adam Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Re: the diagonal stripes. Would they have gone into the top corner if there was a full end door rather than a partial one? Just wondering if they had an actual significance rather than just a painters foible? Regards Ian The latter. The 'rules' (made to be broken) were that the stripe should go where there vast majority were, i.e., bottom corner to the top of the hinge. Of course, the painter had to know this but they seem to be remarkably consistent so this is an error on someone's part. It's pretty rare but it did happen, probably as the result of a repaint somewhere along the line. Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 A Cravens rarity by Lost-Albion, on Flickr That is a lovely photo when blown up. In the foreground gives us another LMS RCH mineral number and a view of the interior, as well as a lovely 'little' load in the open merchandise. Then there appears to be two rows of tipplers in chalk traffic - a number are suitably branded but all appear to have had the same load. And behind these 4 Sand tipplers as well as lots of other interesting wagons - slope sided mineral, GWR van with a frame door....

Porcy Mane Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That is a lovely photo when blown up. Add check out how much more disressed the planking is on the inside as opposed to the outside of the 13t open. Crying out to be modelled. And judging by the flat topped electrification coach over in the distance it'll not be long before the wires are up.

RANGERS Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 The wagons on the internal train look interesting, does anyone else think the second wagon looks like a cut down "Ashworth Kirk" timber? Mark Saunders 'Not sure of the origins of the underframes but the wagons were built from redundant stock in the main repair shops at Corby. They were internal user only, used mainly as in this shot for transporting scrap tubes from the tubeworks back to the blast furnaces for re-processing. They were pretty rudimentary in their construction, angle iron and tube, and had a hard life, not lasting long. I presume the underframes were re-used for as long as they were serviceable, having new bodies at regular intervals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) What's that little loading bank for do we think? Seems to be for emptying stuff into the minerals, but what might that be on such a small scale? Or just coincidence that they are parked next to it? It would be for emptying some sort of bulk product into wagons. There were quite a lot like this around the place, usually just one or two wagons long. The wagons would be moved by gravity (as they were at Redmire, where the loading area was covered by a shed), by pinchbar, horse or even a shunter. Examples that come to mind are:- Higham Ferrers (iron ore) Redmire (limestone) Longport (coke from adjacent gasworks?) Liskeard (stone) In the 1980s, the one at Longport, which was quite a bit higher than that shown (perhaps to clear the raves on coke wagons), was used to tip scrap from a nearby yard into wagons. The experiment didn't last; steel-bodied wagons made a terrible noise, whilst the effects on those with wood floors or planked bodies can be imagined...
