Ian H C Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Steel minerals and painting. What finish was applied to the inside of the body when new? I've seen B&W photos of brand new 16 tonners at a rolling stock exhibition (Marylebone?) taken from an elevated viewpoint that shows what appears to be a black finish inside. Not sure if that was the real production finish or just shiny black for the exhibition. I'd take a guess at some kind of black bituminous paint. any ideas?

phil gollin Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 . I posted this on a Hornby Peckett W4 0-4-0ST thread and then thought it might also be appropriate here - a little landmark was passed last Monday/Tuesday - the first time since 1882 that NO electricity was generated by coal ; http://www.theguardi...-over-100-years .

Fat Controller Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 The van's an LMS-design, modified to work with the crane, I suspect. Something like this:- http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/lmsvan/h38922229#h38922229 The van at the head of the train in the third photo is interesting; a one-off conversion on a BR Mk 1 64' underframe, which spent most of its existence working between Banbury and Coventry on BRUTE traffic, possibly for Kaleidoscope. They had a mail-order warehouse on part of the Banbury Tea Warehouse site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 That last photo was taken on the western edge of Pembrey, about five miles west of Llanelli. The train is heading towards Burry Port, where the train would change traction, almost certainly to one of the pool of '68ers' that were based at Llanelli for trip workings.

Axlebox Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 This is where the 16t mineral thread gets mashed up with 'Where's Wally'...a combination that can be weirdly addictive. (really?) Porsea Maine put me onto this and I've been hooked ever since....follow this link for a taster and if you 'sign in' (for free) you get the zoom function...you get access to 900,000 similar views and another 3 miliion in the pipeline... This by the way is Teesside in 1953 and out of all the wagons on show I can count only 3 16tonners. http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/image/eaw038881 The Browse facility gives you access to the rest of the nation...and BTW if you've never seen a 'Where's Wally' book its a bit like this but for kids... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where%27s_Wally%3F PS If we've done this before then I apologise in advance A/box 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) ...it'll be one of the far western lakedistrict fells...great picture of a once busy junction. Looking over Cleator Moor to Crag Fell & Great Borne above Ennerdale. Strange how I came to dislike that view over the years. Maybe it was something to do with driving to work through Ennerdale Bridge virtually every day.

Porcy Mane Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I've seen a good few from various sources. A quick flickr search tuned up these: https://flic.kr/p/okY4CF 1502x by Alan Curtis, on Flickr 16T ZHVs at Woodhams Barry for scrapping November 16th 1985 by Robert Tarling, on Flickr I wonder if it was just a case of the snappers being more concerned with photographing locos and "interesting" rather that the common, humble & everyday? Some must of thought this worth a frame or two. Palethorpes Van by Hugh Llewelyn, on Flickr P 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 You dont see many Barry shots with minerals in, even though they were one of the reasons the steamers could survive. Woodham's would have cut them quickly, to help cash-flow- a single wagon would probably have taken an hour or so to cut. My recollections of Woodham's is that the wagons were concentrated on one or two roads, and not interspersed with locos; only those interested in wagons would have bothered to take photos.
