It's the steel-bodied one, on the second page. I saw some of these wagons being loaded off the built-up platform in front of the goods shed at Liskeard in the mid-1970s. Peco-Parkside are going to be doing a 4mm kit soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hump Shunter Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Perhaps these (I don't have the book either): In March 1957, 20 x 20T Hoppers (LMS Type, ex iron Ore) were lettered "Empty to Helston WR" They were used on "Serpentine" Stone traffic to Oughtibridge Silica Firebrick Company Ltd at Steetley ER. 100 tons was passing weekly in these bottom discharge hoppers.
