craigwelsh Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Slaters although probably now with Cooper Craft following the announcements in small suppliers. Anyway, see some models http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/topic/2050-on-tim-ls-p4-workbench/page__p__13369entry13369 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, see some models http://www.rmweb.co....369entry13369 My models (apart from the scratchbuilt P6) on the link provided by Craig (thanks Craig! ) are 20T P7s, which is probably the hopper the OP is thinking about, and are indeed available from Slaters/Coopercraft. If you want the earlier, smaller P4/P5 ones, then somebody does those too (I think it's either David Geen or 51L). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they're still available. I don't know whether 100113 is a correct number for a 20T wagon: it's not on the number list in Tatlow's book, but that isn't a complete list. I guess the original builder worked from a photo, so it's probably fine. You might want to weather it a bit so that the different running numbers aren't so obvious!

Jordan-Leeds Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 i have just orderd the slaters kits with the added etched W irons and brake gear hopefully it will be a easy ish build. the only question i have is when where they removed from mainline traffic?

It depends very much on what you mean by main line. I would say late 50s as a general observation. But that depends to some extent on the actual variation that you build.

The kit needs a bit of care but even with the etched items it should prove straight forward. We need need about fifty of them ultimately! http://eastmoor.blogspot.com/2008/04/hopper-progress.html http://eastmoor.blogspot.com/2008/10/multitude-of-wagons.html http://eastmoor.blogspot.com/2008/04/hopper-progress.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Hopper Dia P7 which are the Slater Model In use 1922 17000 1939 13500 1947 5600 Therfore a rapid decline into the 1950's as Steel Hoppers took over. The outside W Iron versions I believe are the earliest builds and probably very rare post war Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
