Otis JB Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Good evening all just wondering if anyone could tell me what the chassis length of this vehicle would be? (Photo credits- David Roberts, Pinterest) Thanks very much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted November 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2020 What an interesting looking wagon. Given that it is GNR, should be easy enough to get an answer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Fen End Pit Posted November 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 10, 2020 Peter Tatlow's volume one (page 69) only has a photograph of the later 'Iron Mink lookalike' but has a table listing an earlier design which I suspect is your photograph. According to the table it was GN page/block 17/16, load 8 tones, body dimension 16-0x 7-8 and a 9'6 wheel base. David 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Tooley Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 This photograph features as plate 89 in LNER Wagons before 1948 Vol 1 (Cheona, 2003), where the dimensions are given as 13ft 6in over headstocks with a wheelbase of 8ft. Plate 91 in the same book shows another Great Northern gunpowder van, No 9268, which is one of the vehicles alluded to by Fen End Pit. This is an outside framed wooden van generally similar to the contemporary ordinary goods vans (see p41 of the Tatlow volume). D 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Thank you both, I will be making a 3D model of this to print in the near future and this information is very much appreciated. Regards 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
