garethashenden Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I think I have seen pictures of wagons with different type of axleboxes. One grease and one oil on a side for instance. Did this actually happen and how common was this? I'm mostly interested in the period from 1900 to 1914. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hi Gareth, I've seen numerous pictures over the years of wagons with odd axle boxes, so the answer is definitely yes. As for your period and wagon type it is much better to seek close up pictures and to check with a society covering your chosen railway company.

garethashenden Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Thanks. i was certain I had seen them, but then I went to look at a picture I remembered and it was a wagon with one solid spoke wheel and one split spoke wheel, so I was second guessing myself. These are private owner wagons, I'm doing them as more "typical" rather than "strictly prototypical". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted April 12, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2014 As you say - mixed axleboxes and wheels - and probably buffers too!!! Cheers Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Phil I've seen split spoke and 3-hole wheels on the same wagon. Presumably all that was available to get it home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
