The 070360 number is in the sequence for a BR owned internal user wagon...but for a wagon allocated to the Western region!

RichardClayton Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 And here’s another one — Airfix body, but there was no chassis in the box so I used a Parkside one. Brake gear is ABS, axle boxes and buffer heads are of unknown origin. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing train-loads of the stuff being brought down to Tyne yard. A few years later, and it would be Ravenscraig's turn, with daily trains on the Newcastle and Carlisle, bound for Lackenby. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, the desolation in the background is what was left of the steelworks. In the second photo, the part demolished building above the last wagon was the iron ore unloading facility for the PTA wagons. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
