Flatrol Details


Recommended Posts

I'm not exactly sure of the wagon concerned, it's not my kind of thing, but I've included the number for reference.  This just happened to be by the platform at Bishops Lydeard last night, so I thought I'd take some detail pics, they may be of use to someone (I was more interested in the 37 on the front ;) )

Edit - thanks to Jon and Brian I now know it's a Flatrol and not a Lowmac - title changed accordingly :)

Evidently not your sort of thing, because its not a Lowmac at all but a dia 2/530 Flatrol EAC (which makes it a ferry example no less).

 

As a ferry wagon it was actually built with a through air pipe and 'modern' drawgear and buffers so I imagine they were fairly popular with the engineers, I know at least one other is preserved at the NYMR.

 

Thanks for the photos

 

Jon
