Erichill16 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Quote Tony, you are so right regarding selfish people, they’re putting themselves and others at risk and jepordising the little bit of freedom people have. This situation brings out the best in people but also the worst. I’m very lucky,I have a big garden so can relax in it (if I wasn’t working!)I really feel for people who live in ‘tower blocks’ and don’t have any garden, it’s theses people who will be hit most. Ive had ‘substance users’ complaining that service is slower than usual whilst an old(ish) gentleman offering to do some deliveries on his ‘pushbike’. Anyway, I’ve managed to get a bit of spraying done outside earlier this morning. Nothing to show yet but I’ll post later but don’t hold your breathe they are only Parkside hoppers.They’ve been on my workbench quite some time and I hate having too many projects on the go at once. Tony and everybody, keep safe and ‘model for England’ ‘your country needs you’ to do this and stay in, Robert 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Saunders Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 This is the plate on one of the two slope sided 1/100 diagram wagons that were at Bates Colliery as internal users in the mid 1980's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at David Larkin's recent book on Absorbed Wagons, it would appear this wagon had a sojourn in France before entering BR service. Incidentally, quite a few of the 'slope-sided' minerals that went to France never returned, having been heavily modified to act as improvised ballast hoppers. The modification involved cutting new door openings in the side panels, and fitting additional side doors. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 73121- the first three wagons appear to be carrying shingle; this was sent to North Staffordshire, where it was crushed, prior to being added to clay and used for certain types of china. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted April 18, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 18, 2020 Excellent selection today, Metr0. Love the open doors, the Rats and especially the 20s with the over full ones. Send them out like that on an exhibition layout and wait for the 'knowledgeable' comments! Kev. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted April 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 23, 2020 Sometimes you just cant be bothered to weather one. This is an extract from a DJ Norton photo at Camp Hill Coal Yard in 1955, pristine finish. Just look at the state of that old 7-plank creeping into the picture next to it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted April 25, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2020 Getting bored with the lockdown and want something different with your 16T's? I have my suspicions this might be a B&W pic that's been colourised, but fun nonetheless. (Talywain) 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axlebox Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 ...have we been here before? I take it the little 'tags' either side of the R/H stanchion (snapped off on the L/H one) are rope cleats? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
