Fat Controller Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Michael a nice photographs of the Chas Roberts built tipplers for British Steel. http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/bscotippler/h359531a7#h359531a7 Very recently it has been pointed out that they were carrying coal to Corby and not iron ore. Bachmann have modelled these. Paul Bartlett They were still running via Toton Yard when I visited there during the Easter holidays in 1972- quite took me by surprise, as I'd never seen a private-owner mineral before. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spackz Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 A few of my mineral wagons, I apologise that there are some intruders in these pics but they show the same end result. The 16 and 21 tonners have had scenic rust applied left to dry then a wash of a more realistic colour brush on, using thinners the rust was then removed as required. Two of the hoppers have had carrs weathering poweders (a pre mixed dusting of rust and coal colouring) applied to wet matt varnish, you need to be quick at dusting the powder, then with a cotton bud the almost paste is brushed downwardswhich gives the texture, more colours are then added until desired effect is acheived.

Michael Delamar Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 why is this wagon not the same height? from here.. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/41727-1960s-british-railways-in-black-white/ Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennine MC Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 why is this wagon not the same height? Cos it's not as tall It's not a pukka 16 tonner Mike - I'd say it's probably one of the Cambrian 13 tonners, like these, which came before them. It's essentially a shorter version of the more familiar 21T PO/Felix Pole family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Because it's not a 16 tonner, but something a bit more interesting, a pre-war 13 ton coal wagon built for private owners.

Michael Delamar Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 thanks guys, had a feeling itd be something older good shot of a 16t with its door down. http://www.railphotoprints.co.uk/index/detail/6198/47006-Derby-0463-RPC229.jpg.html and a nice weathering shot. http://www.railphotoprints.co.uk/index/detail/5310/48356-Bredbury-Junction-040568-RPCDR473.jpg.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
