watfordtmc Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Just a nudge back to the front page for this thread, with a couple of dull images of an actual wagon, albeit in departmental use: ‘Livery’ seems to be rust, but with an triangle on the door. I’ve tried to make out the lettering but failed. However, given the location (on the Liverpool Street – Cambridge route; ‘West Anglia’ in today’s parlance) I suspect something to do with the Divisional Civil Engineers yard at Leyton.

RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted September 14, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) As a 7 or 8 year old, I remember the cranes at Ardrossan Harbour lifting 16t minerals in a cradle, slewing, then tipping the wagons into the hold of a ship. https://maps.nls.uk/view/130198179#zoom=5&lat=3380&lon=4807&layers=BT The ship was in the tidal harbour, just to the left of the jetty in the centre of this map view. The crane is marked on the map photo from Canmore, showing the berth used, empty. Fascinating to a youngster. Regards Ian.
