bazjones1711 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Merry Xmas to you all, our Avesta Sheffield project has been on hold for a while now, but hopefully be resurrected soon and rebuilt to a more manageable size, so to keep to the prototype will make approx 5/6 BSA (Ex BAA ) coil wagons . See pic /link below http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/baa/h2ca80536 I have a list of the 24 wagons that were converted but only a few pics , as they were all Loadhaul livery (Orange) and some with what i assume is executive grey ends , so i am trying to make a list of each individual wagon and its livery . List of BSA 900007 900010 orange and grey ends 900015 900017 900023 900024 900025 900026 900032 orange ends 900036 900054 900055 900070 900083 orange ends 900125 900132 900152 900157 900196 orange and grey ends 900209 this wagon was repainted into EWS with a different cradle arrangement 900213 900256 900261 900286 These wagons ran from Immingham to Sheffield with imported stainless coil , so if anyone can add to the list or any other information about these wagons would be much appreciated Regards Baz Edited December 25, 2017 by bazjones1711 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) The BSAs also operated between Sheffield and Seaforth (Liverpool) carrying stainless steel slab for export. They were later augmented by the BVA flat wagons and associated "kassette" intermodal units, which were purpose-built for the traffic (see http://www.kockumsindustrier.se/en-us/our-products/productdetail/?categoryid=1&productid=10).There was an article in Rail Express a number of years ago which covered the entire operation in some detail. I can get hold of the reference, but not for a couple of days. Jim <Edit>Looking at the linked photo, these are different BSAs. The ones at Liverpool were based on BBAs and were more like bogie bolster wagons. This is why Paul Bartlett and others counsel against relying on TOPS codes to identify wagons</edit> Edited December 25, 2017 by Jim Martin 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
