  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    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?

  4. 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?

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
