Berry Wiggins tanks

[Pinehill]

Can anybody supply details regarding routings, locomotives used & any other useful details of the movements of Berry Wiggins fuel tank wagons from their base in Kent to Gloucestershire/Forest of Dean etc. I assume there was an exchange somewhere from Southern motive power to Western & the route must have been interesting! Any information would be appreciated.

One of the wagons books has lots of detail on Berry Wiggins ......... but is it one of the tanker books or one of young Mr.Turton's ?

I remember seeing Berry Wiggins tanks heading south through Maidstone West station in the 50s,presumably on Hoo Junction-Tonbridge and further freights.

The Class Bs sat in Feltham marshalling yard on the two occasions we visited - both Saturdays. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/berrywiggins

I don't know the routing to/from WR- from Feltham could have been up to Acton or via Reading.
