Fat Controller Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hello everyone OBA and OCA Dutch (civil engineer) has been carry steel ? And carry Land Rover 90 / 110 / defender? in 1990s They've probably been used to carry rod coil, if no other steel traffic. A quick view of Bran Daniel's site produced these:- https://www.flickr.com/photos/brianews/6022657559/in/album-72157627371646720/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/brianews/6023217910/in/album-72157627371646720/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/brianews/6022662179/in/album-72157627371646720/ I couldn't find any shots of OBAs in this traffic, but that doesn't mean they've not been used.

br2975 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hello everyone OBA and OCA Dutch (civil engineer) has been carry steel ? And carry Land Rover 90 / 110 / defender? in 1990s I have photos of the following OCA wagons in 'Dutch' livery on wire coil traffic at Tidal Sidings Cardiff:- 112043 on 13/11/2004 112086 on 16/04/2005 112158 during 2002 OCA wagons carried the coil across the wagon, unlike the SEA wagons which carried them lengthwise, on timber baulks. . I also have photos of OBA wagons loaded with coil at Splott Jct. near Tidal. . Hope this helps. . Brian R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH-UK Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Before Speedlink finished in 1991 (and not usually in dutch) some carried bricks. At least one OCA carried wheelsets from St Blazey to Carlisle Currock and then Cardiff Canton. Dutch liveried examples also carried plastic drainage pipe and concrete troughing amongst other things.

RMweb Premium James Makin Posted February 3, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2016 I've also seen pictures on Flickr showing the odd OCA in MOD train usage with Land Rovers and small armoured vehicles lashed down, will make for a good model when I get round to it!

class37418stag Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Heavy steel on OCA or OBA and SSA ? From harburn hobbies http://www.harburnhobbies.co.uk/acatalog/fl115lg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 That load probably has been carried in OCA's at least. They used to carry larger aluminium blocks from Fort William in the 1980's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 That 2000 but I may believe Dutch OCA been carry steel in 1990s Once Railfreight was taken over by Wisconcin Central, and the network was privatised, then there ceased to be any differentiation between 'Revenue-Earning' and 'Departmental' fleets; Railtrack (and later, Network Rail) were paying customers like British Steel/Corus , Redland or Foster Yeoman. Apart from specially adapted stock, the former Departmental fleet was treated the same as the former 'revenue-earning' one. Wagons carrying 'Departmental' colours could thus be seen working alongside the rest; examples were often to be seen on steel traffic, for some reason. One that springs to mind were the use of 'Borails' that had gone en-masse into the Departmental fleet to carry 60' lengths of re-bar from AS&W Cardiff to P&D Stirling at Mossend, another was SPAs. OCAs were quite possibly used to carry coiled rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
