jwealleans Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Dave Larkin went through the number blocks allocated to the different types of wagon in his last book. Does the 'B' prefix here (although the wagon predates BR) indicate an ex-MOS slope sider? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndon Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 A question for the 16T experts... I've just got my hands on a Bachmann slope side 16T wagon and it comes with split spoke wheels. The wagon needs re-gauging for my needs but would the split spoke wheels be appropriate for a late 50s early 60s wagon or would it have had 3 hole wheels by then?

The early B prefixed minerals are former Ministry of War Transport wagons that simply had a B prefix added to the ministry number and as such predate nationalisation! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason why not, the Stewarts and Lloyds tippler that are the doorless version and built at the same time, retained theirs till withdrawal when Corby Steelworks closed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bachmann 37-425A looks very much like that wagon, having identical pressed steel doors. It is numbered B8707. I can see no reason why they should use an incorrect number intentionally.

Fat Controller Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 B8707 was built sometime between 1944 and 1947 as one of 1779 wagons to Diagram 1/100, built by Charles Roberts, originally registered by the LMS.

Info from 'An Illustrated History of British Railways Revenue Wagons' As I say on the description of my photo collection I wrote lots of mistakes about these which Peter F sorted out when he published the Backtrack article. However, perhaps more definitive is the recently available Larkin, David (2019) The Acquired wagons of British Railways. Volume 2 All-steel mineral wagons and loco coal wagons. Crecy Publishing Ltd. 152 pages. ISBN 978-0-86093-694-7 144 pages See chapter 9. The lowest number appears to be B3002. An essential read for anyone following this topic.

If you want a bit of variety, Michael, you could try some of the Cambrian LMS ones, which can be used to replicate the re-bodied 1/108 type, provided you only have brake shoes on one side.
