Fat Controller Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 LNER built 16 tonners. Scan20005 by rodney smith, on Flickr What a wonderful piece of old machinery- they must have used those wheels because they couldn't find any pram wheels. I wonder if anyone knows anything about it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 What a wonderful piece of old machinery- they must have used those wheels because they couldn't find any pram wheels. I wonder if anyone knows anything about it? The place I first worked at had a small rail mounted version although it had been scrapped shortly before I got there. When the place closed I was presented with the builders plate! It's loading up the appropriately named Jack Coles coal lorry, according to the caption on flickr.

Porcy Mane Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Ju Somebody must know something about this machine, can't wait to hear more about it! Doing a Google for "Thomas Smith Rodley" should tun up a wealth of Information on the builders. Looks like these two rail cranes could be it's brothers. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g6R0ektzB-c/UVH0D6peA-I/AAAAAAAAIso/9OIbEqqAYEI/s1600/5.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26power Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Some colour views, bar one. Hopefully not posted previously. Not all greys are the same: https://www.flickr.com/photos/thanoz/5025644114/in/dateposted/ Templecombe Shed. 1959. Useful view of coal loads (B&W): https://www.flickr.com/photos/thanoz/5310016740/in/dateposted/ Hunslet: Parkside Junction. 1965. Slightly elevated view of empties. https://www.flickr.com/photos/126693116@N06/17201170298/in/album-72157651168524976/ Shipley. March 1967. Varying appearances: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rgadsdon/29605890631/in/pool-1261311@N24/ St Rollox, 1962 Half a rusty end, and a "French" type with side doors open: https://www.flickr.com/photos/124047467@N05/26239665101/in/dateposted/ Bath shed, 7th June 1964. Slightly different view of the above "French" type. https://www.flickr.com/photos/124047467@N05/27257887576/in/dateposted/ Bath shed, 7th June 1964. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're both French types. The one on the left right seems to have it's doors open as well. Justin Edited: I meant to say right, the one on the left very obviously has it's doors open!

Fat Controller Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I think they're both French types. The one on the left seems to have it's doors open as well. Justin It also seems to have received a new, enlarged, black panel, ready to bear the instruction about 'Not to be used for the conveyance of engineers' materials' that such wagons carried in their later years.

Porcy Mane Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 And interestingly the last pic of the French mineral has the original RIV buffers and screw couplings, surprising at this late date. Looking at some of the pics I've seen, those RIV biffers and screw couplings seem to have lasted to withdrawal on some examples. (You've seen the pics) Is that Alec Guinness in his white suit? That load in the left French wagon looks like used fire arch bricks and cinder. The cream inscription seems to read "??? Bath Green Park and Stoke Gifford Tip" so I guess that working restriction would be logical. Pity we can't see if it's still retained it's round and foreign looking axle boxes. Now to work out the number. Any takers for B193447? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
