jonhall Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Just need to park a few photos here - there is a model by Lima and these prototypes were photographed at Rottweil http://lima-modeltrain-collectors.xobor.de/t167f11-Hobby-Line-L-G-H-ISOVER-reg.html transfers http://www.modellbahndecals.de/Decals-Gueterwagen/Komplettbeschriftungen/Epoche-3-DB/Kesselwagen/-Nassschiebebilder--Gueterwagen-Komplettbeschriftung-Heizoel-Wagen-G-H--Gruenzweig-und-Hartmann-AG---DB--Epoche-3--Artikel-Nummer--6566-.html Jon Edited October 11, 2017 by jonhall 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted October 12, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2017 Rockwool built a factory near Cwmbran around 1980 with a private siding to the adjacent main line, but I never saw a single wagon use it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhall Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Well these wagons would never have visited - they use every mm of continental loading gauge, including having rather small wheels, meaning a tendency to derail which is apparently the model following prototype practice!

SimonHMT Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Thanks for answering a question, @jonhall Having recently bought a Fleischmann 57301, which is a similar looking (though not identical) wagon with "Railship" branding, I was vaguely wondering what the prototype of this rather unusual wagon might have been used for...I guess Rockwool or similar insulation makes perfect sense, being light but bulky!
