RMweb Premium 03060 Posted June 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 26, 2020 Another general question ....the wagon behind the one being tipped is the other way around and the ones in the rake entering the yard are all mixed up, so, was there a wagon turntable somewhere or did the tipper work in different directions ? Have wondered this before having seen earlier photos on the thread. Regards, Ian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This style of tipper was often composed of two tilting platforms, one facing each way, and tipping on to a common conveyor belt.

It doesn't really answer you question, but this picture shows the same tippler, but with two wagons in different directions. 8 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 03060 Posted June 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Thanks montyburns56 , Another great picture, it does answer the question in that the positions of the buffer stop blocks are both at the tailgate end of the wagons which 'suggests' the tipping direction of each mechanism, ie into a central point. I wonder if the wagons were arranged end to end and shunted on in pairs to suit this type of tipper ? I'll check back through some of the other photos both in this thread and the 16ton Mineral thread. Much appreciated, Ian.

RMweb Premium 03060 Posted June 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 26, 2020 The wagon arrangements in the first few pictures taken at Coralls Wharf suggest that they did as alternate pairs of wagons are white stripe to white stripe. I take your point, time is money (and I'm a Yorkshireman ) I'd always assumed that wagon lift tables were single wagon only. Cheers, Ian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the stop blocks I think you will see that they are hinged independently and can be moved clear and used for whichever way is wanted.

Crafty, eh? Thanks, this is what I am seeing from the evidence in all of the pictures. Have also just found a thread on here by Ruston concerning different types of wagon tipplers (for coal depots and power stations) which shows a model of this type of tippler in action. It gives an added dimension to the shunting operations at the very least. Thanks for all of the replies. Regards, Ian. Edited June 26, 2020 by 03060 Extra info added.

Reading further in your response it's been linked, appropriately, from the person you gave consent to publish it so you'll need to sort it out with them. I will support people's copyright claims but I will also tell them when they've left themselves exposed, often through lack of understanding how systems work. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
