Fat Controller Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yes, the short version with three axle bogies! There is a diagram in one of the Essery LMS wagon books! Mark Saunders 'Wild Boar Fell' did a 3D printed one, though I've not seen the model; we used them out of Landore for the biggest moulds, which went to Llanwern and Ravenscraig. They still carried vestiges of WD paint, along wth references to them being on loan to BR Western Region. BR coded them either Flat WLL or ELL. They also found use on concrete beam traffic, and one was modified for nuclear flask traffic. They were built to carry the M6 'super-tank' https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=M6+Tank&espv=2&biw=1600&bih=780&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjC4JHVscTRAhWEfhoKHbf0C_8QsAQIJg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyA Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The wagons built for the M6 were Warwell B, not Warflat B. The height of the deck was 3ft 2ins compared to 4ft 2ins on the Warflat and 2ft 8ins on the Warwell. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26power Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Might be of interest.

RMweb Premium petethemole Posted January 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2017 A very useful shot. On the left of that is a Valentine on some type of low machinery wagon. Two Valentines fit on one warflat, with a good view of the roping at the end. The Churchills have a cover over the air intakes, with the removed covers stowed above on the track guards.

That is certainly an eclectic mix of armour. The tank at the extreme left on the rearmost row appears to be a Matilda. In keeping with Ludgershall's role as a depot, I suppose: bound to be a variety of stuff lying about. Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

br2975 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Good, the BR grey version doesn't appear to have the buffer beam jacks fitted. . That could open up a world of conversions...... . Brian R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Good, the BR grey version doesn't appear to have the buffer beam jacks fitted. . That could open up a world of conversions...... . Brian R Just a few less parts to be removed before converting them to other later incarnations, shame the floor is moulded with the solebars but I am sure that some careful surgery will remove it!

Going2theDogs Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 The warflats look good to me - espically when they will be loaded with my Oxford Diecast military land rovers..... Any idea when these wagons will be available? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.Uni Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Any idea when these wagons will be available? Sep/Oct according to the Bachmann Website. RRP is £36.95 without the tank, £49.95 with tank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Saunders There were also some that received four, rather chunky, wooden bolsters- W161045 being an example. On the industrial front, ASW Cardiff had some with fairly substantial sides for scrap transport ( http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/alliedsteelwire/h69d18ce#h69d18ce ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the industrial front, ASW Cardiff had some with fairly substantial sides for scrap transport ( http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/alliedsteelwire/h69d18ce#h69d18ce ) I wrote to Merl Evans aeons ago kicking this off, there are quite a lot of possibilities, although the differences between WW1 and WW2 warflats does confuse what is possible. The important ones are the Coils, but you'll all go crazy because the frame work is partly exposed on unloaded wagons. http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/?q=warflat There were also some Trestles introduced right on the cusp on nationalisation.
