Photos of missing/rare BAA wagons

Recommended Posts

I am trying to find photos of a few BAA wagons which do not show up in the usual websites (Paul Bartlett's, Flickr etc). I am trying to see what types of ends they had and what livery/whether they had the "Railfreight" logo. More generally, I am trying to find how many BAAs carried the railfreight livery (in case someone out there has this information?).

 

Does anyone have photos of the following BAA wagons:

 

900008

900019

900023

900028

900031

I don't know if you've looked on here; one you're looking for (900005) appears as a BZA:-

Thank you! I did encounter that website. Good for end types but not for railfreight livery (because it's modern photos so the railfreight livery has been removed)

Is it the livery the wagons were delivered in that you're seeking? The only place you might find note of that, that I can think of, is in the newsletters of the 'TOPS Circle' that David Larkin used to collate and edit in the early part of the 1980s. Sadly, these pre-dated the world of PCs and Notebooks, being typed, cyclostyled, and delivered by the postman. Apart from things like new wagon deliveries (not that there were many at the time), they noted the livery variants in which the new air-braked designs were delivered.

Somewhere, I have my copies of the TOPS Circle newsletter; if I find them, I'll try and do a precis of the liveries, and the dates of the Lot Numbers concerned.

I would like to know all the BAA wagons with red ends (Railfreight), what end types they had (below is the 5-bar variant), whether they had the Railfreight logo (not all with red ends had the logo) , any metals sector markings/decals etc.

Might help with the end style, but too late for the livery details !

Think only 900064 is on the list, but other pics are just for info.

 

Cheers,

Phil.

Cheers for the reply. Is that 900064 the second-from-last photo, bottom wagon in the photo?

it is, and it's also the main subject of the pic above that. ( the number is stencilled on the bottom right-hand corner of the endplate )

I just took pics of all the wagons in the rake as it went past, but all the rest were BBA's.

I can PM you the original (full size) pics if there any use to you.

 

Cheers,

Phil.
