Mark Saunders Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Maybe the answer to the question ! depends on what traffic you want to use the Bachmann BAA for . https://www.flickr.com/photos/northeastheavy60/24253545885/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/northeastheavy60/21094611191/ These appear to be post privatisation and was probably done to increase visibility in the sheds for the benefit of the coil crane operators! The one produced by Bachmann is probably a one off to launch Metal Sector. Mark Saunders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one with metals sector decal (900205) was unique. However, the second model (38-151a) has a design multiple wagons seem to have had.

Fat Controller Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Quite a few steel carriers recieved yellow or white upper surfaces to their ends; as Mark Saunders surmises, it was to help overhead crane drivers pick out the ends when placing loads. Loading bays at steelworks are very dusty places, as my father's car used to bear witness. The first mention I've seen of the practice was in a HMRI report on a derailment on the Swansea District Line, in the late 1960s/ early 1970s- the train was conveying ingots from the Duport works at Llanelli to the rolling mills at Briton Ferry. The crane driver had placed some of the ingots half over the wagon ends, and eventually one or two fell between the wagons, with predictable consequences. One of the Inspector's recommendations was to pick out the ends with light-coloured paint. This was on Plate wagons, but I have seen the same thing on bogie bolsters and other types.

hmrspaul Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I thought Hartlepool was BBAs BAAs were on the Corby and mixed with VTGs on Blackburn, Wolverhampton and Wakefield turners lane In more than 40 years BAAs have had lots of uses, and this continues for some of them.
