eastwestdivide Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I'd wondered about MOD from the colour scheme, but never found anything. Thanks to your post, I finally found a comparable photo in Paul Bartlett's resource at https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/modavan (scroll to the end, as the first ones there are 12T designs). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham Green too Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I think the moderators will have to give us a definition of 'Odd' ......... to my mind a unique zillion- wheeled boiler set is somewhat more 'odd' than a plywood-sided Great Western "MOGO" of which a hundred were built.

Mol_PMB Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 The incessant row of yellow bearing covers is quite something! I’d post some torpedo pictures if I was allowed to. They have the same number of axles as half the boiler set. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faded to a deep cream - and the upperworks to blotchy pinky-brown - when I saw the poor old thing outside 'Locomotion' in October 2019 ..... obviously nobody loves it !

Stratford, it came round the curves behind a 37 in 1985. Seemingly freshly painted markings, especially the DO NOT OIL by the suspension. Are some of the markings incomplete (the ones with "LIFT" in the centre)? Paaintwork somewhat patchy. No visible maker's plate either: I got one of these at Oxford on the Bicester trip no doubt. See it's got a number panel but no number in it and it's vac blow through and air braked. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian daniels Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 If you want odd wagons here is one from Cargowaggon in Didcot Yard. I am guessing it's a gauging wagon prior to the large bogie European vans coming over. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
