Baggies1961 Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 Checking over the dogfish wagons, so far out of the four, one screw coupling loose in box and two with a wheel set out the axle box, not bad for such a long journey I suppose. I would check them as at least one screw coupling on every wagon were nearly on the final thread!! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Al, Apogies for delay in answering not been 100% these last few days. 1have topped the ones I have in ballast and sat in hopper. Very kind offer have you got dogfish loads? Kind regards Julian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 No worries, will have a look. I have done similar with mine. Will see what I have got, I think they originally came with small and large loads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Well an early Christmas pressie too….. myself… damn Hattons O gauge sale 🤥. A bit of work to do on this, not sure why two of the front footsteps were plated over at each end, does anyone know?? I will follow suit, then fit sound, driver then weather. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Assuming your plan is 31465 (I think it was the only NR ETH one), then my guess would be it was rotten when overhauled and it was easier to just plate over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Al, Thanks, Yes 31465, strange both ends, but that seems to the most plausible reason. They also had 31602 I think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Called in to the Yorkshire Wolds Railway (YWR) on the way back home from a site I visited outside York on Wednesday. Most work had ceased that day because of the torrential rain so took a snap of progress on the brake van and our loco under going maintenance. Unfortunately the site suffered a break in on Friday, some tools stolen out the van with all locks sawed off 🤬 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
