RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 21, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2013 Is this drawing of diagram 1576? OPC's Illustrated History of Southern Wagons, Vol 4, has details of numbers, rebuildings and a couple of pictures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-CRS Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) It is a rebuild of 1576 into 1760 it is diagram 1760 that I am interested in. Illustrated History of Southern Wagons, Vol 4 on Amazon for £45 to steep that. Edited June 21, 2013 by Tricky-CRS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I am looking for details of this van ideally pictures as I have drawings in "A Pictorial Guide to Southern wagons and vans. I thought there were pictures of dia 1760 on the opposite page to the drawing in Terry Gough's book? What other details are you looking for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-CRS Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 I am still looking for pictures of the Ballast brake and the original brake van, does any one have pictures that I could use to promote these kits? Any help will be much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ianmaccormac Posted July 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hi Have you tried a query to the Brighton Circle or John Minnis, their photographic Steward or Jonathan Abson, their wagon guru? Cheers Ian in Blackpool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-CRS Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hi Ian Thank you do you have any contact details as they does not seem to be any on their website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Holliday Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Although I am always a bit wary about kit manufacturers who don't appear to have a great deal of information regarding the prototype they have chosen to reproduce, I can add a few more potentially useful references for photos, namely Mike King's pictorial follow up to the wagon drawing series, of which I would have thought Volume 2 was essential for this project, and Issues 18 and 20 of Southern Way, which carry a history of Southern brake vans, with a photo of each type, unfortunately for you, one in each issue.

hmrspaul Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Have you tried the LBSCR steward of the HMRS, or looked through the catalogues which are on line? http://www.hmrs.org.uk/ Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack Benson Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Does this help, you can order a download from Transport Library, 5&9 Models used to offer this as a kit and they do appear from time to time on a well known auction site. However, they tend to be rather expensive. If interested, I can post more images. StaySafe Edited March 10, 2021 by Jack Benson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 If it's dia.1760 that's of interest, it's a rebuild of the 'Brighton' van Hornby made/make : the body of that has always had its shortcomings* but I'm sure there would be a market for replacement 'Engineers' bodies for its 'good enough' chassis !!?! * and in no way compares with the recent Warner 'New Van'.

Guest Jack Benson Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Designed by AH Panter, six of these 6w ballast brake vans were constructed 1915-16 to LBSCR Diag 47. All were subsumed into SR ownership becoming SR Diag 1757 Originally painted red overall, they were numbered 327-332 (SR numbers 62834-39) During SR ownership they received lighting, first two oil pots replaced by two gas lights. Withdrawls began in the late '40s, the last succumbed in 1957 Thank you and Stay Safe Edited March 17, 2021 by Jack Benson rubbish spelling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
