16t minerals


Recommended Posts

Any suggestions as to what the 16 ton minerals above the safety valves are ? They don't appear to have top doors, so I'm leaning towards LMS built ones, but i can't see any markings on them suggesting bottom doors.

That's a rather nice (slightly modified!!!) generic 6-wheeler there.

You should post that of the "Genesis' 4 & 6 wheel coaches in OO Gauge" thread too.

 

Great find.

Illegal for pit props as only flat ends allowed. (Cap pieces needed top & bottom by law.)

 

Maybe her dwarfs were vampires too?

Hi Metr0land,

 

Do you or anyone else know what kind of tank is behind the 76, my guess is some sort of chlorine tank or similar.

Yes the STS Anhydrous ammonia working over to Immingham. There were various wagons written for various companies but the deep skirt would suggest it was this type https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/icianhydrousammonia/ee710857d

A very familiar scene, probably because this photo of 5037 on Llanelly shed, was taken on 8th August, 1963 by a good friend of mine, who still lives nearby, in Burry Port. I'll let him know that folk are sharing his photos.

AJPowell unsorted 01 470

B68916 is to be returned when empty to Brent (Mid)...apparently

The coach is one of the LMS 57 ft Kitchen cars with diesel-electric generators on board to power the electric cooking. I was reading about them the other night in the Essery and Jenkings LMS coach book, and they mentioned one of them was withdrawn very early on but not scrapped for a long time and remained in LMS livery.

The Dukeries Junction shot is full of interest. Apart from a single slope - sided one, all the 16 tonners in shot appear to be the "cupboard door" type; I can't remember the diagram number.
