YRV Bogie Bolster (S&T) - Typical loads?

[Banger Blue]

I’ve recently picked up a couple of Dapol’s YRV Bogie Bolster wagons with S&T markings:

 

 

What would be a typical “S&T” load for one of these? I’m guessing things like cable drums or Signal posts?

Yes to both, there are a couple of photos of loaded examples on Paul Bartlett's site

One small point, a YRV is a concrete trunking wagon, converted from Bogie Bolster E wagons with low sides. What Dapol have modelled is a YNO.

Well it is not a YNO because it is vacuum brake fitted, but it isn't a YRV because it hasn't got sides as such. And the YNV created from those wagons seems to have been a long welded rail carrier...

I assume ( ??? )  that the S& T Dept also looked after the often overlooked on layouts telegraph poles (?)

A long time ago on many parts of the railway.  I wonder when the last pole route went?

You are making me feel old as I remember an S&T colleague telling me how they used to erect replacement poles. Digging a narrow trench/hole with a sloped end from which the pole base would be inserted into the ground, then once the pole was vertical rotating it through 90 degrees so the arms were across under the wires, and how their supervisor insisted that the spoil from the hole was piled up in such a way that it could be returned to the ground sub soil first, 'top soil' last.

Spelling or lack there of.

There were alot of poles extant on the GN/GE joint line around Ruskington in the early 2000s, without wires though, which is something I planted on my layout, with a couple felled in the undergrowth...

 

2004, there is one almost hidden in the right arch of the bridge

 

 

2007, the next one towards the camera was laying on the bank next to the footbridge I was standing on.
