flyingsignalman Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 A couple more pics. 1st is an internal user at the Turner Asbestos works at Farnworth & Bold on the Widnes to St Helens line taken 13/2/1982. The line to St Helens had been lifted through Farnworth & Bold station by this date though it wouldn't be officially taken out of use until April 1982! 2nd is a 16t min in Porthmadog goods yard, taken 13/7/1978 Finally, and slightly off topic, is this wooden wagon on a low level line at Garston Docks, taken 21/8/1978. Notice the bracket on the end of the wagon - no idea what it was for! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennine MC Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Are you sure it's in the wagon Keith? It looks to me more like it's bracketed out from the embankment, and that the vertical members terminate in the grassy mound. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 17, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2012 hand of god required http://www.wiganworl...ways&offset=600 Couple of decent NCB blokes would have them back on the road in about 10 minutes flat (genuinely; I have never seen anyone else achieve so much in the way of rerailing wagons with so little in the way of kit and at such a pace and usually without too much damage. Alas my rerailing methods usually involved a tad of dismantling but were at least quick, didn't break too much, and didn't use jacks but I wasn't even in the junior league compared with a good 'proper' breakdown gang such as Canton). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 wagons on Chris Hewitt's clee hill incline layout Angelbank often look like that at the top of the incline if you dont stop the winch quick enough! no ones mentioned the wooden wagon behind the 8f at Heaton norris yet so I will, does anyone know any more about it, I think ive seen one painted like that before but cant be sure.

hmrspaul Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hornby used to make a model of the same wagon (and number). The one I have was by Lima. It was in a cheap set I bought for my kids many many years ago! It appears to be a good representation of the livery, but is a typical RCH wooden mineral with side and end doors and steel frame, whereas the prototype is a tippler.
