Kelly Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 The Chilmark MoD/Ordarnance Depot had narrow and standard, and had fork lifts (at least in the later days) in the transhipment between the two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signaller69 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Re the Buckley area, quite a comprehensive book by James I C Boyd 'The Wrexham Mold & Connahs Quay Railway' sometimes available quite cheaply on eBay or Amazon, I was more than a little surprised to find out about my own area when I read it! The LNER in North Wales who would have thought it! Another superb Buckley book is this one published by the Buckley Society:As you say, LNER operated until the WR took over, J62/J63 and J69 tanks used mainly, followed by Pannier tanks, then an 03 diesel towards the end! Appropriately on topic I converted a Hornby open wagon to one of the Buckley transhipment wagons a while back (using a good photo from the above book): I have yet to build any shipping boxes for it. These were loaded onto the wagons via running onto a traverser table along the length of the loading platform, then moved to be lined up with the wagon.

RMweb Premium DLT Posted February 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2018 Interesting stuff guys, I'm looking at redesigning my interchange yard, but haven't got anywhere with it yet. Cheers, Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted February 10, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 10, 2018 Those LNWR ones in Paul's link above look very much like the 2-plank dropsides from the Ratio 'Permanent way wagons' set of kits... Very close but not quite. The Diagram 7 slate truck wagons were 15'6" over headstocks whereas the Diagram 62 ballast wagons (per the Ratio kit) were 16'0" over headstocks [Ref. LNWR Society, LNWR Wagons Volume 1 (Wild Swan, 2001)]. The ballast wagons have projecting end pillars which are easily enough trimmed back, yielding Diagram 3 dropside wagons.

happyChappy Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 The Chilmark MoD/Ordarnance Depot had narrow and standard, and had fork lifts (at least in the later days) in the transhipment between the two. Hi Kelly. Long time maybe since this was posted but I'm interested in the arrangements at Dinton, (next door to Chilmark), and wondered if you have any further info, (perhaps photos), regarding the transhipment arrangements at either site. Hope you can help. HappyC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
