"Petroleum rail tank wagons of britain" by Tourret, page 4

Found springs just the right length to use but had to replace the axle boxes and keep plates

No idea but its still in Rhymney territory, 121 was rebuilt like this in 1911 but it is before renumbering to GWR 662, so 1911 to 1923. I only know this much after finding about it this morning http://www.greatwestern.org.uk/rhymney.htm https://www.steamlocomotive.com/locobase.php?country=Great_Britain&wheel=0-4-0&railroad=rhymney#20034

stacked high behind Rhymney No121 (ex railmotor No1)

passengers necessarily dont matter, if its goods/industrial and still doing its job, it should count

Isnt Bertha's tender a standard Fowler but with a cab?, surely theres plenty of secondhand 4F tenders around

It looks home made, though no idea its supposed to work since there's nothing on either end of the wire, it clearly originally had tension lock based on the lugs and screw holes on the ends

If you want to go pandantic the ffestiniog is working steam, its still owned by the same company from 1832, its just that a lot of work is done by volunteers so that they no longer need hundreds of employees like before

Theres still some steam on the indonesian sugar cane

Somebody did a video about that a year or 2 ago but i cant find it now

Just needs a bit of weathering I know that the curveture of the tank profile is a bit wrong as i copied from the drawing without first double checking the photo

There was a 2ft quarry line that ran North from Newbridge on the NYMR, you could imagine it as clay instead of sand https://www.irsociety.co.uk/Archives/11/sandstone_from_saintoft.htm

Somebody asking about a wagon works https://www.rmweb.co.uk/forums/topic/183759-a-small-company-wagon-builder-the-derbyshire-carriage-wagon-co-ltd/

The Charlesworth done

Our 152 spotted in a 1931 railway magazine

I had no idea about livery and was going to it a dark oxide just because i thought it would look nice but looking at the book, it suggests 2 tone grey for early wagons and brakes but the partial photo shows it all the same colour (what ever that is) and the book doesnt say whether the ends should be red or not

Photos of those scrapped wagons Starting on the new brake, drew a copy of the frame to make it on

The charlesworth was weathered and in the coaling process im just waiting a few days for the pva to dry A while back i scrapped brakevan No1, i wasnt happy with it for a few years now and will be replaced by something else. This was quickly decided after browsing the L&Y wagon books and seeing the drawing for an 1870's brakevan, ive just been to the library to reprint to scale along with a few other wagons i like the look of Another recent scrap was wagon 15, a flat with a Fergie tractor. After a few years i wasnt happy using a dumb buffer as an implement wagon and i dont want the fergie anymore since its post war. The chassis wasnt worth repairing and reusing so its gone, 1 day i'll make a pregrouping implement wagon with 20's or 30's machinery on it

Some wagon photos from Twixtaireandcalder.org.uk which is a wakefield council online photo gallery A William Robinson of Skipton at Sharlston https://www.twixtaireandcalder.org.uk/image-detail/?id=11319 A partial Sharlston https://www.twixtaireandcalder.org.uk/image-detail/?id=11173 A load of wagons at Walton but its a bit too blurry to read https://www.twixtaireandcalder.org.uk/image-detail/?id=3125 Airedales as far as the eye can see at Allerton https://www.twixtaireandcalder.org.uk/image-detail/?id=1901 Hemsworth with a Ramskir of Thorne https://www.twixtaireandcalder.org.uk/image-detail/?id=6575 South Kirkby with a partial "Fletch" maybe Fletcher https://www.twixtaireandcalder.org.uk/image-detail/?id=13012

Just waiting on some new knife blades so i can cut out the Kurtz stencil, so for now im finishing the Charlesworth

There was probably several, this is just 1 known example

im on the computer now so can get the photos works photo from a book print i acquired from the collection of the late John Allen, which i assume was taken at Butterley

Ive got 2 photos of this, its also on my to build list, Charles Roberts' first tank wagon of 1881, it was preserved at the works until Procor took over and went to Butterley where it slowly rotted and disappeared into the undergrowth and now nobody is really sure if it even still exists

I presume by the photo that the Kurtz wagon was black so thats what ive gone for and done a bit of lettering on the Charlesworth
