RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted August 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 28, 2019 HI all, I'm about to start on a project to build some of these. From other places I have information and a photo or two. But - I need more! The wagons in question are: Tops code FGB (then later FJB) 610999 / 602206 / 602331 which were all converted from inner wagons. Anyone know of more photos of these wagons?

RMweb Gold Lazy Posted August 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2019 According to Michael Collins' book, 601999 was apparently built as a double-ender, the other two were converted from inner vehicles and renumbered to 601997/998. There are photos of all three on Paul Bartlett's site - 601997/8 appear to retain their original headstocks inboard of the bufferbeam extensions, but the photo of 601999 is after allocation to Departmental use, including end steps which make it difficult to see whether it too had the superfluous headstocks (although if it was originally built as double-ended, one would imagine not). There was also another double-ended conversion, 601996. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmrspaul Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I haven't responded to this on here or DEMU as no mention was made of sources already known, and I assumed mine were well known to Phil. All are in this collection https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brfreightlinercontainer Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted August 29, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hi Paul, As usual - you are correct! I have already visited and had a good look at your collection I've been on moost of the 'usual sources' and am diggingthroughbooks as well. Currently I am part way though searching the Leicester Wagon Group pamhlets in the hope of finding some dates. Thanks Phil H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
