cheesysmith Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Does anybody know what the ratio of rebuilt 16 ton's to unrebuilt ones was for say aprox 1975 to 1980? As I want to model yorkshire in aprox this era, I just want a guess as to bow many I would require with top flap doors and how many without. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmrspaul Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Does anybody know what the ratio of rebuilt 16 ton's to unrebuilt ones was for say aprox 1975 to 1980? As I want to model yorkshire in aprox this era, I just want a guess as to bow many I would require with top flap doors and how many without. It will have changed hugely over that period. By 1980 it was a major effort to find one with anything remaining of a top door. Becareful as well, because as well as the full rebuilds the few remaining ones with an original body frequently were partially rebuilt, http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/brmineralweld/e3e3be5bb including the top door being crudely plated http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/brmineralweld/e3dc0fa4c http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/brmineralweld/e317c143d My photos are no guide to the proportion as I went out of my way to photograph wagons in more original condition, often scanning long rakes of minerals for the odd survivor. It is also a possibility that different areas had different proportions, the unfitted 16ton minerals were semi-isolated fleets at that time working from local collieries to the staithes etc. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
