The TOPS plates reflect the Lion emulsion ownership. https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/lionemulsionstsv Will have to encourage Dapol to do them when the 7mm anchor mount is produced - possibly a good one for Tower to do as they seem to like more unusual one off from Dapol. Paul I’ve pre-ordered some to repaint in Manchester Oil Refinery and Burmah livery, maybe also one as a BR creosote tank? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham Green too Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Depends what you mean by 'Like' ......... the arrangement used on all (?) Southern suburban units - once the MCB knuckles had been found wanting - was just a single, central, buffer on the headstock of one vehicle against a rubbing plate on its neighbour with a thee-link coupling below. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRA wagons Oddingley 2002 by Dave Gomersall I always thought that Mermaid wagons with their manual tipping mechanism were more character forming. There were little anchors you could attach to the rails before tipping them too, not that we ever used them. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Unusual in that it's one of the few wagons with an xxF TOPS code. Tank ADB999089 coded ZRF at Hoo Junction October 1983: F, G and H denoted some special kind of vacuum brake as far as I remember - F vac-only, G plus air pipe and H dual braked like the YGH Seacows. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
