Jim Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I have tried for a while to find out the speed of “Rudd” pway wagons. I’m thinking, although air braked, they have a wheel base of 12 foot so perhaps restricted to 45mph? I can’t find anywhere on line that gives speeds of specific rail vehicles. Any info would be great. cheers, Jim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR traction instructor Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) ...have a look at the appropriate wagon diagram on the Barrowmore mrg site...it'll tell you there. Alternatively, which old underframe were the new Rudd bodies put on...the speed of the original underframe indicates the likely speed of the Rudd. Looks like HTV 21t hopper wagons...50mph the quoted speed on the diagram below... New diagrams weren't always issued after rebodying.

Jim Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 Much thanks for that info. That Barrowmore site is very interesting. I couldn’t find diagrams for Grampus, Clam or Rudd but very interesting never the less. I’ve bookmarked their site! many thanks, jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
