Weed killing train


Recommended Posts

I previously posted a question regarding weed killing trains in the 50’s and 60’s.

 

I am thinking about doing a weed killing train to run at shows on my clubs Newcastleton layout. I have a rough idea as to the formation of a typical weed killing train but from what photos i can find, they are all different, using various types of old tenders tanker wagons and vans etc. But which would run north of the border is what i am wondering. I have found some shots of the north eastern region train in 63 using a couple of old gresley coaches and four ex lner tenders in the formation. Now this would do and be doable using some kirk kits i have lying around and some replica/Bachmann ex lner tenders as a basis but.

Would this train have been used north of the border and into southern scotland up to edinburgh or would they stick strictly to their own regions????
