 Does anybody know the maximum axle loading for these? The wikipedia article  is incomplete.

Thanks in advance.

There is a Network Rail page that no doubt shows this information, but seems to be restricted to authorised users.

 

See this query from 2011:

 

[The Stationmaster]

Using the 1987 figures for calculations involving 2 axle vehicles the permitted axleloads in (long) tons were as follows-

 

RA 1 axleload 13 tons or less,

RA 2 axleload  over 13 tons up to 15 tons,

RA 3 axleload over 15 tons up to 16 tons

RA4  axleload over 16 tons up to 17 tons

 

But note the calculation for bogie vehicles produced slightly different results and these figures are based on calvculating from wagons and not necessarilyon the Civil Engineer's specified figures.

The RA3 boundary seems to match up reasonably well to the Wikipedia article (quoted there as 16.5 tons).
