LNER loco coal, with fabricated doors (not pressed as many of them had). Also several vacuum braked 16ton minerals and I think the freight stock red double door mineral next to the Loco coal is a 241/2ton (later MEO), Nice variety!

Also several vacuum braked 16ton minerals and I think the freight stock red double door mineral next to the Loco coal is a 241/2ton (later MEO), Nice variety! Paul Not sure about that Freight Red mineral being a 24.5 ton one; although it's slightly taller than the adjacent ex-LNER wagon, the proportions don't seem right. Could it be a 21t 'Minfit'? As late as the beginning of the 1970s, I saw a seemingly ex-works ex-LNER 'Loco Coal' at Llanelli stabling point, with a shiny black rectangle between the two sets of doors, and the lettering 'LOCO COAL' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Toton 1952. Photo British Railways. 0ED81876-5158-4DEE-AD84-6C1886BC95BB.jpeg Lovely view; the seemingly half-full wagons are probably carrying iron-ore for either Stanton and Staveley or Corby. If it was high-density imported ore, there would appear to be even less in the wagon. The two wagons loaded with spoked wheels look like models, especially the one with four wheel-sets. Vans and merchandise stock are conspicuous by their absence. Twenty years after this photo was taken, I went on an official visit to Toton, and the mix was similar.
