County of Yorkshire Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hello knowledgeable Southern modellers! I have just built and painted one of the excellent Chivers kits for this wagon, and am about to apply transfers. Whilst the kit instructions give the wagon number range and tonnage, I do not have any resources from which to know about the tare weight of these wagons. Would someone kindly be able to advise on this please? As a bonus question, would these wagons have been in the common user pool in the immediate post-war period please? I am not going to number my wagon as a "Loco Coal" one, but rather as a general mineral wagon. It would be useful if I had some justification for one appearing somewhere in the West County in 1946-7. Thank you in anticipation. CoY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tare weights did vary somewhat between theoretically identical vehicles - and tended to reduce over the years as they got knocked about ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
