I remember it when it was a pit heap. (With a working aerial flight) The in laws (Ex!) lived less than a minute away. Who needs a roof. The sun was shining when we left.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted March 16, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2019 So, the wagons are a couple of sheeted opens for 1928, one LNER and one unidentified (possibly LMS), both 3H kits. And a couple of P17 hoppers for 1918. Bacon and eggs for breakfast? 23 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That LNER sheet ought to have gone for refurbishment three years ago. Not even the LMS was so thrifty as to expect to get eight years' use out of its sheets... Liking that pig.

The date on the LMS sheet is 1936, so it hasn't been made yet! it's been on that wagon for a long time, it was done years ago for another project, need to work out how to change it, probably paint it out and pop a transfer over it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, white is date of manufacture and red is best before. One doesn't often see the red marking modelled - it doesn't show up in prototype photos. [Ref. R.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted March 23, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2019 Lots of coal hoppers. 1918. 1908. And a rather scruffy looking P4 that perhaps lasted in this livery till 1928? I don't think P4s (the slope sided ones) got up to Rosedale much, the line was Central division and the P5/P17s were used for ironstone so these will have brought coal up, the P4s are really just making the numbers up for now. 19 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted March 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) There's a mis-match between the length of the wagons and the spacing of the drops. Presumably when the drops were built the standard hopper wagons were shorter? Edited March 23, 2019 by Compound2632 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably what it is, assuming the yard staff would just bar them along until the next wagon was somewhere near. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simond Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I wouldn’t assume the drops were built to wagon lengths. I think there were different drops for different grades of coal in the typical land sale yards, so there would be no need or advantage in so doing, although of course where they were bunkering or loading ships, that wouldn’t be the case. best Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted March 24, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 24, 2019 I'm taking it for granted that Paul's drops are based on his site surveys and to scale; was there a standard dimension for NER coal drops. (Facilities at ports are a different matter.) North Eastern Record Vol. 1 has a drawing of the drops at Haltwhistle, which are at about 13 ft centres, which would seem to be about the same as paul's.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted April 15, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2019 Being doing a few jobs before York at the weekend, the light beam has been rebuilt and rewired and I've treated it to a new name board. One of the two diagonal braces had gone missing, no sign of it anywhere, I must have used it for something else, so I've made another and made sure they're all marked up... Can't believe I'm this organised this soon before a show! 20 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
