Hi there

 

I would like to pick the masses brains on whether the coil P conversions only used the palbrick B as a basis or if the other types of palbrick were converted. Also around when did these "stand in" vehicles cesed being used for steel traffic.

 

Cheers. Adam.

They were quite complex - there were two diagrams 1/242 and 1/243. The former used just six of the Palbrick Cs of diagram 1/025 and the latter around 330 Palbrick Bs of 1/022 and 1/024. The biggest pool of them in 1973 was coil from Lackenby to various while two years later 220 were carrying import coil from Goole. One became a Coil Y and 26 to Coil Vs (with a spigot for eye-to-sky coil). They were generally replaced by Bogie Coil Ps (ex-Bogie Bolster E) modified with the transferred wooden cradles off these Palbrick conversions.

 

Hope that makes some sense?!
