Osgood Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I don't think we've had a partially sheeted wagon yet - nor a partially sided one https://www.flickr.com/photos/65480188@N07/17625233673/in/album-72157653359343596/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owd Bob Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Just noticed that the wagons with the 08 shunter that i posted have slits/holes cut into their sides, any ideas what they were for ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were often used on stone/engineers ballast etc later in their lives. As this is denser than coal they could only be loaded approx halfway and the holes were a visual check.

RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted February 18, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 18, 2018 They were often used on stone/engineers ballast etc later in their lives. As this is denser than coal they could only be loaded approx halfway and the holes were a visual check. Note that the wagons have TOPS codes beginning with Z - probably ZHV - and at least the first has a number beginning DB... which also indicate wagons in departmental service. I think the most common use was for spent ballast and spoil, as they are clearly not adapted for discharging fresh ballast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osgood Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Yes - both the French and Spanish denoted locomotives by axles - for example an 0-8-0 would be 0-4-0. Edit: In fact looks like it is more widespread - here is an Eastern Block 2-6-0 1-3-0! Edited February 18, 2018 by Osgood Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owd Bob Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 On the very last stall just before the exit door at the Macron toy fair yesterday i found this and bought it, i'm not sure if i got a bargain at £25?? but it'll be the one and only 16T wagon i'll ever need for my planned small 7mm layout. I might make a start on putting it together this week, after first choosing a real one to copy off amongst all the brill' pics' posted here. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Interesting brandings and triangles on those 16 tonners, Limestone? Corby bound? P I've never seen an instruction about this (yellow triangle on two door mineral says 24.5t. red triangle on china clay says floor of zinc). But looking at my own photos I found one almost instantly http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/brmineralweld/e203d23c5 and another http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/brmineralweld/e35151d97 http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/brmineralweld/e2d5d1b3c I'll admit I dismissed this as one of the numerous signs which we associate with departmental wagons - although no one has explained them either!

Fat Controller Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Have they got DB numbers on them, as some other CCE had green triangles on them that had no real relevance as floors were wood or steel....... A lot of ex-traffic merchandise opens (Medfits and Highs) seemed to carry triangles in different colours; I have seen both single colour ones (red, yellow and blue as well as green), and two-colour (blue and red), most frequently on the LMR. The majority were spoil-carriers, which I'd often see at Alsager tip. Looking at a line of them one day, I did wonder if the train had been assembled by an ex-Navy signaller..

Owd Bob Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Not much of them to see here at SP, but it may be just about useful for modeling the thickness of the metal on the tops, sides & ends.....dents and all!
