Tallpaul69 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Hi there:- I think this is your question? Has anyone pictures of wagons used to carry baled scrap between 1980 and 1994 such as OCAs, OAAs, OBAs and later Tiger POA wagons and POA scrap wagons? So, if it is, I will look through my books and see what I can find? Regards Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

br2975 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 When modelling baled scrap, only put a small amount in your wagons, say half full, as baled scrap is extremely heavy and wagons could be easily overloaded. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB-AU Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) There were 8 bogie PXA bolsters built in 1974 for Sheerness Steel for carrying steel rod. 4 were rebuilt as boxes in 1981 for carrying scrap and the other 4 were rebuilt in 1985. 40 more scrap boxes were built new in 1982 to a slightly modified design. Most of the photos online I could find were at Sheerness with only a handful elsewhere - a few examples I could find were Washwood Heath, Whitemoor, Swansea, Willesden and Action.

Swindon 123 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 At Hereford in the late 1980's we had a turn down to Llanwern and Cardiff Tidal with a train from Trafford Park which carried baled scrap as part of its load, among other things. I took a few photos of the train and some of its wagons whilst working the train one week in November 1988. Below are photos of SPA's carrying scrap that often appeared in the train consist, which are awaiting uploading onto my Flickr site. Loaded with bailed scrap, SPA 460516 sits on the service line in Llanwern Steelworks. 2nd November 1988. Loaded with bailed scrap, SHA 461038 sits on the service line in Llanwern Steelworks. 2nd November 1988. Recently repainted and carrying a load of bailed scrap metal, SPA 460770, is part of my train consist stood on the Up Service Road, in Llanwern Steelworks. 3rd November 1988.

I can't thing why they'd transport lumps of slag several hundred miles like that. I remember train-loads of scrap from Consett, and later, Ravenscraig, when we lived in the North-East; it was a melancholy sight to see recognisable bits of steel-works loaded into open wagons, but at least they ended up in UK furnaces. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
