  1. Thanks gents. Yes. October 6th 1984 was a Saturday. After a bit of research i have also found the following:- After the lengthy reign of class 25s on the Tustead-Oakleigh ICI limestone trains, a substitution of pairs of class 20s was made in 1984 and by 1986 the 20s were ousted out by 37s & 47s. Also for model rail purposes i have found that in 1986 ICI Oakleigh still received the following trains: Limestone from Tunstead (21 trains a week!)) MGR coal from Trentham Jtn (3 trains a week) Oil from Lindsey (twice a week) Caustic Soda ash to Larbert (twice a week) and local trips from Warrington Arpley Yard All wagons are available from the main maunfacturers except the Tunstead limestone wagons? However, still not sure what class of loco was diagrammed to what workings......other than the 20s on the Tunsteads.
  2. Just about finished scratchbuilding a copy of the ex steam shed at Northwich as she was in the late 70s & 80s before closing. Can anybody confirm the following:- 1. The number of locos expected on shed week days and weekends? i guess class 25, 40 & 47 were the most common with resident 08s. 2. Diagrams that were entrusted to Northwich crews. I presume most diagrams for the ICI complex and the Tunstead diagrams. 3. Local trip workings. 4. Was the breakdown unit allocated to Northwich? 5. Shunter diagrams. Any info and photos would be much appreciated. Many thanks Ashley
  3. Ok.Great for the input. so 315,000 bricks divided by 15 wagons is 21,000 per wagon. You stated 6750-7250 per wagon. So average 7000 x 3 flats per wagon is 21,000 so that works out. Average brick pack is 400 bricks so 21,000 divide 400 is 52.5 packs. So my guestimate of 18 packs by 3 is about right then. Not sure how im going to emulate 54 packs per wagon over 10 wagons!! But model railway always like projects in duplicate! Does anybody sell packs of bricks?
  4. I am interested in forming a 'Fletliner' London Brick train based on the workings from Stewartby to Garston / Allerton I have the following information Actual train FFA Inners and FGA outers were used for the trains. Double header 25s. Often load 10-20 wagons; 900t payload This train ran 3 days a week. Last train was 1985 with 25288 at the helm Ran north up the MML and south down the WCML Wagons FFA Inners and FGA outers were used for the trains The wagons had yellow sides with red lettering? The wagons carried 3 flats; each 15t each. Total load 45t; Wagon gross laden weight 52t but are struggling on the following..... Cant find any close up photos? Total number of brick packs per load. Im guessing 18 packs by 2/3? A pack of bricks is approx 800 hi x 780 wide x 1075 long. Dimensions of the wagons? Is the Bachmann 38-626 FFA/FGA suitable for the train? Is the old Triang / Hornby flat any good? The LNER Triang is too early? withdrawn 1966. But is the wagon the same length? Any further help would be appreciated especially photos.
