Not sure.
The NER called the catches monkey tails. There was one per door, so two each side. They were prevented from opening with a locking pin. Pull the pin and tap the monkey tails and door open under the weight of the load.

Plate 4 in LNWR wagons vol 1 shows the LNWR experimenting with the on 1 Dia 4 4 plank and 4 dia 2 2 plank fixed sides.the 4 plank has a paint date of 04/09. there is another photo on page 36 of a Dia 2 2 plank fixed side with a rail no date. How ever both ae ex works and do contain the dimonds on the sides which was not used aftr 1910.

That would be interesting and useful to see. Would you be able to share it with me or let me know the source?
I will dig it out. I'm away at moment so it will be Monday before I get to it.

I have a GA for the loco in its original form. There is a lot of info on these locos in the M&GN loco book. When they were used by their new owners they were paired with a Sharp Stewart 4 wheel tender, without having their tanks removed.

quick question is Bernard Mills book worth getting?

That's great. That brings the total number of photos to 5 which is 4 more than I had yesterday. I've been mesuring the map and to exact scale it's 8ft3 by 2ft which fits into the space I have.
The map shows either two RH points but looking at the photos it could be a RH tandem.

That would be great if you could. I drove past the site last week without knowing it was there, not that I could have done anything about as 2 out of 3 Bosses were in the car with me.

I have been working on a plan for a small layout of Carbean Wharf does anyone know of any photos?

IMHO probably the best period to model a China clay works would be some where around 1919-23 as the amalgamation of all the smaller companies into ECC would allow you to have different PO wagons at the same Linhay at the same time. To keep people's interested having the same stock running in and out would be a bit boring for an operator let alone those watching.

Definitely a Y8 or NER K. I would have problems fitting that motor in my 7mm versions.

My S&DJR official photos album is at either http://www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/album/512561 or, if they are visible to other members now that Gold Membership is required to open or add to albums,
Nice photo of 28A as a saddle tank. I'm in the process of redesigning the kit we produced a few years ago. Might be tempted to produce the saddle tank version as well. Have you got any more photos?

It's probably the only book I've not got. I had a quick look for a copy this morning only one available was in the US.

I have found a small Dry on the Wentfordbridge branch that looks like it pre dates the ones at Wentford. They are opposite Spital Woods. It appears on the 1908 map but I have never seen anything written about them or any photos. Does any one know anything?

This gives me a business idea, as I've never seen any for sale. If these coaches went everywhere. Then you could have a train full of them.

There is evidence of a 6plank in the grey livery with the iron works picked out in black but with the S&DJR painted out and large LSWR painted on.
The normal reason for iron works being picked out in black was that the iron components were built before the rest of the wagon and the black paint was to stop corrosion. Most companies reverted to an allover colour when the wagons came back for a repaint. However the S&DJR we a company that continued to pick out the iron works.

I would have to disagree withe the wagon movement issue. Loads were book through from the point of origin to their final destination. The only time a load, including cattle, would be moved from one wagon to another would be at the change of gauge.
I build a Furness Railway cattle van and a box van from photos provided by the Brighton circle. I have a photo of a LBSCR class D open in Wick and there are photos of midland 299 wagons in Penzance Cornwall.
This intermingled situation because more noticeable post 1917 with the common users system as the empty wagon could be reloaded and ship off to another destination.

Very nice work. It's good to see some of our Avon's on a layout other than our own.

You might want to have a look at the Denton Brook thread. Giles is a bit of an expert, he would never admit to being one, on buildings. I was taught to never reinvented the wheel.

its a shame that don't do an O gauge one or I would have bought one.

Really great. Where did you get there details for the build? One would fit quite nicely I to my new micro layout

We are not closing down but the space we have in the house is going to be reduced and the time I'm able to put to running the business is going to be reduced as well. Which wagons were you after?

The production process gives a very good finish. The process is actually "Selective Laser Sintering" so technically its not 3D printing but for the layman its just easier to say 3D prinitng.
