Great footage :)

 

Those 16t (not tipplers this time!) do look somewhat overloaded with stone. I knocked up a spreadsheet a while back with some bulk materials as 16t loads, might be useful if you're not modelling them with coal:

Material                    Density Weight  How full?
                            kg/cu.m 18.3cu.m

Not sure those 16-tonners are loaded with stone; they look more like broken castings or similar. When I had to go through a year's worth of weighbridge tickets at BSC Landore, 16-tonners loaded with baled scrap generally loaded to 22 tons.

The 16t Minfits used as fitted heads on tippler-services from Peak Forest had '2/3' painted in very large characters on both side panels on both sides to make it clear what the limit was.

You'll have to click for the pics.  2 shots of Oxford Rewley Road which is where I believe the work is going on to turn this area into the Oxford terminus area for the Chiltern Railways route into Oxford.

I really like the tank wagons in the second photo. The small tank (10 ton) with the late Shell BP livery is interesting and the middle tank is one of a few with steel saddles not wooden as normally seen on a 14 ton 1927 RCH wagon. The others are 14 ton RCH with a variety of craddle and saddle mountings. Wonderful.

I don’t think I’ve seen a pic of a Hymek at Newcastle Emlyn before.  Come to that, there are precious few pics of anything there!

Great find! I stayed in the stationmaster's house there a few times, sadly after the line and station had been removed. One more for the loco weathering reference ;)

That's surely at Dunford Bridge. Too much track for the other side

Bodiam: 16T barely visible behind photter but I thought it worth showing for the rarity value:

Hammersmith and Chiswick!  Not only a railtour but a 16T as well:

Not sure if I've posted this one before?

I suppose that one way to empty a 16 tonner. Pilmoor 1959 .
