Lima OO Bogie Wagon Lorry Transporters

[mike lee]

Help please, I have acquired as part of a job lot some ‘Lima OO Bogie Wagon Lorry Transporters’ which are from the ‘Operating Container Terminal Set 600960’ and usually came with Dunlop and Seatrain articulated lorries, amongst others. Don't know if they were sold individually or only came as part of a set? Can anybody tell me if these are based on a prototype wagon or not, and if so which, even if it is based on a continental wagon, as I also model French Railways. I have tried searching on Tinternet but have not come up with anything?

 

Thanks Mike Lee

Hello Mike,

 

Looking at pictures on Google Images this looks to be a modified DB type bogie flat wagon with a lorry sat on it and appears to be a toy with “play value” rather than a prototypical wagon.

 

The European “Kangarou” wagons, as I recall, carried the trailer only and had a depressed well to lower the overall height at the trailer wheel end.

 

Cheers

 

Darius

Thanks for you reply Darius, you have spurred me on to do a bit more digging. 

 

It looks as though it is based on a Continental Res Container Flat Wagon. Google Images has come up with a very close wagon, however all the ones I have found so far are stake wagons, the Lima wagon doesn't have stakes, or provision for them, it has slots for fitting ratchet straps.

 

I will have to keep on doing a bit more investigating. Regards Mike Lee

Thanks Brian, interesting website.

 

I think the nearest I am going to find is an Re## Continental Flat Wagon.

Dybas has a few possible stand ins in category “S” - mostly track panel carriers

Thanks 'doctor quinn', intersting website.

 

It looks more like an Re## continental bogie flat wagon than an "S" type due to the style of the underframe. Knowing Lima early products its probably just something made up anyway?
