Fat Controller Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 2 class 20s Chesterfield 1988 by junglebaldster, on Flickr The last wagon looks like one of the MDV that were air-piped in the early 1980s- there seems to be a second pipe on the buffer-beam.

In which case, I hope the train's running as vac not air :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one in 1986 at York. Bit of a snatched shot, but shows the MDW code and I think you can see the air pipe curving round between the loco and the wagon. see the closeup with the yellow lines pointing to them.

RMweb Premium MJI Posted April 30, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 30, 2012 No idea where my set is (may be garage, sitting room or bed room), but mainly Airfix stil running Airfix wheels, all numbered off real ones I have seen so have the correct MCV or MXV brakes. All in tatty bauxite and correct brake gear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

37114 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Here's a couple of pictures of my 4 16t Bachmann mineral wagons (taken on the very unrealistic Kitchen table!): They are weathered using washes of various browns, highlighted with grey, and Tamiya weathering powders. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennine MC Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 That Alrewas shot is good for the clear view of the replating, not so much in a different shade of grey but a different texture in the rusting. It has Morton brakes, so will be 15yrs old at most, and if it's had those fabricated axleboxes from new, it might only be about 10 yrs old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennine MC Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) A relative rarity there pictured with E3003 - the cleaner of the two wagons is one that was intended to be 8-shoe vac braked, but turned up being turned out unfitted - you can see the clasp brakes and the big self contained buffers. Edit - looking again, I think they both are - you can just make out the offset V hanger on the rustier one. Quite a coincidence having two together like that.
