RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 11, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hi Mick This from your photo is the symbol I'm curious about. point wagon.jpg Is it something about not clamping the point section by the rail? Hi David, Sorry - I've no idea what it means. Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungrange Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hi Mick This from your photo is the symbol I'm curious about. point wagon.jpg Is it something about not clamping the point section by the rail? That would be my interpretation, but I'm only guessing. I'm assuming when they need to be lifted off the wagon, it is the sleepers that need to be lifted rather than the rail as the weight of concrete sleepers would probably break the clips if the rails alone were grabbed.

RMweb Gold big jim Posted April 12, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hi David, Sorry - I've no idea what it means. Cheers, Mick it means 'do not use retarders' as on the continent in automatic hump sorting yards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific231G Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) it means 'do not use retarders' as on the continent in automatic hump sorting yards Thanks Jim I can see a logic in that. So, the "no retarders sign is international (UIC?) for if the equipment ever gets used abroad but having it in words is for people here who aren't familiar with the symbol. I've not seen it before so is it fairly new? . Presumably the 500m vertical radius limit is also a pretty strong no no for hump yards. There can't be too many of those around anyway with far less wagon load freight. Edited April 12, 2014 by Pacific231G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted April 12, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2014 the ews 'eurosheds' have the no retarder symbols on them too, as did the internationally registered fastline coal hoppers and that was 7 years ago, i think anything new and internationally registered has it on to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
