sir douglas Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 im also guessing there must be a wooden floor over them i should have included an intro, ive been going through the railway mags in our club library for a few months, found various interesting things, if it is about wagons, i'll share it with Compound's thread if it is pre 1900's it goes in the 19th century FB group but there are many other things without a place to post so here is my own place. This will be some tit-bits of volumes which will of course be bias to my own interests and im sure Railway Magazine and the second hand sellers wont be happy with somebody sharing it all for free so they will mostly be images minus the article text 1898 some of the drawings in an article of early carriages, Brighton Croydon & Dover, East Lancashire and Manchester & Leeds japanese carriage Taff Vale 75 1860 Boulton's Trent 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buhar Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 1 hour ago, sir douglas said: loco on the right which looks like a Hunslet or Manning wardle In later years the FR had a few small tank engines from Sharp Stewart (two types) and one from Andrew Barclay, none of which resemble this one. I wonder if it's from one of the local private colliery or ironstone railways in for attention? Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mol_PMB Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I've just discovered this thread - some fascinating old pictures there. Many thanks! I wonder if you have access to the March 1933 edition, which should have an article about British wagons sent overseas in WWI? I would be interested to see if it has anything relevant to my thread on Polls and Parrots: Cheers, Mol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the container on the crane is for loading or unloading the narrow boats. Perhaps one of our Midland experts can identify the location.
