RMweb Premium 65179 Posted January 9, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 9, 2023 Good afternoon, Please can anyone help me identify the first two wagons behind the tender loaded with what I assume is a pipe load? They look superficially similar to an SR 8 plank wagon, but without the substantial metalwork around the doors. Many thanks, Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aire Head Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Wagons of similar appearance were built by the SECR,LSWR and GWR. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Tooley Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I think these might be LNER 12 ton Sleeper wagons (See Tatlow's LNER Wagons Part 4A pp57/8). D 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 31A Posted January 9, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 9, 2023 Possibly ex LNER Sleeper Wagons? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 They certainly look to have LNER open fronted axleboxes so - yes - sleeper wagons .......... though, to my mind, they wouldn't have been the easiest of vehicles to get sleepers ( or pipes ) out of ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 65179 Posted January 9, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 9, 2023 Thank you all for your replies. Darryl, looking in the LNER Wagons reference you supplied it looks like these are the wooden underframe variant of the LNER sleeper wagon. Interesting that a batch of pipes (spun iron?) is loaded into wagons of quite different lengths (Pipe, Sleeper etc). Many thanks, Simon 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
