Gloucester Road Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Looking to weather my JGAs so i have some questions. Are these still in service or have they been stored? Was the material they carried in a stone or powder state. The pictures ive seen have them in a fairly white and clean condition, do they still look like this? If there are photos of some heavily weathered or distreseed examples i would be in interested in seeing them. Thank you Stephen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharrc20 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hi Stephen, which version do you mean? Those with the closed tops operating out of Grassington quarry in Tarmac white livery and green/yellow stripes or the plain white VTG operated ones that operate for Tarmac out of Tunstead quarry near Buxton. Both would be quite traffic worn after several years in traffic since their last repaints but the Tarmac liveried ones seem to be kept cleaner I think.

pharrc20 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Looking at photos on Google images the Tarmac liveried wagons are definitely kept a lot cleaner than their cousins working from Tunstead. So you could lightly weather with traffic dirt on the bogies and underframes mixed in with some stone dust around the hopper doors and on the sloping ends of the wagons add a light mix of both. As always it is best to work from some photos to get the right effect. Cheers Paul Edited June 17, 2014 by pharrc20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted June 17, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) They are reasonably clean because of the upper doors. It's a fairly fine product and creates a bit of a dust storm when conveyed in open wagons. This is from 2011 https://www.flickr.com/photos/bolckow/5697501412/in/photolist-nf9HnS-9VEdHK-9newnc-9newfZ-9newcz-9nhyDE-9nhyzh-eX33Rj-9KeqDU-9KbAdc-9PnixX-a6pZeA-a6pZ67-9Keq5h-9Pq9vA-cA4CsW-cA4sAC-cA4upL-9KeqP9-9KbAmr-9Pni5a-9Pq9mA-cA4uFo-cA4nqh-cA4nD7-cA4m2d-cA4tT7-cA4t6h-cA4mdA-cA4mtm-cA4tn7-cA4tBU-cA4scN-cA4kNq-cA4sQq-cA4mG9-cA4o6w-cA4rY1-cA4kyA-cA4nS1-a6n8fM-cA4kdo-cA4jXW-cnZ8SE-9FrKCo-9FtbEY-muV1pM-hFMmKt-dcNUqi-biAcGZ Here's a nice end shot https://www.flickr.com/photos/78395540@N02/13943623160/in/photolist-nf9HnS-9VEdHK-9newnc-9newfZ-9newcz-9nhyDE-9nhyzh-eX33Rj-9KeqDU-9KbAdc-9PnixX-a6pZeA-a6pZ67-9Keq5h-9Pq9vA-cA4CsW-cA4sAC-cA4upL-9KeqP9-9KbAmr-9Pni5a-9Pq9mA-cA4uFo-cA4nqh-cA4nD7-cA4m2d-cA4tT7-cA4t6h-cA4mdA-cA4mtm-cA4tn7-cA4tBU-cA4scN-cA4kNq-cA4sQq-cA4mG9-cA4o6w-cA4rY1-cA4kyA-cA4nS1-a6n8fM-cA4kdo-cA4jXW-cnZ8SE-9FrKCo-9FtbEY-muV1pM-hFMmKt-dcNUqi-biAcGZ I saw a couple in passing the quarry 10 days ago and got a quick snap and they are still about the same colour as the 2011 pic above Cheers, Mick Edited June 17, 2014 by newbryford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame, shame, shame ! Regards Nick Hi Nick, Here's a distant shot, but clearly shows there isn't much variety along the rake in weathering. https://www.flickr.com/photos/tunnyspics/5858085477/in/photolist-nf9HnS-9VEdHK-9newnc-9newfZ-9newcz-9nhyDE-9nhyzh-eX33Rj-9KeqDU-9KbAdc-9PnixX-a6pZeA-a6pZ67-9Keq5h-9Pq9vA-cA4CsW-cA4sAC-cA4upL-9KeqP9-9KbAmr-9Pni5a-9Pq9mA-cA4uFo-cA4nqh-cA4nD7-cA4m2d-cA4tT7-cA4t6h-cA4mdA-cA4mtm-cA4tn7-cA4tBU-cA4scN-cA4kNq-cA4sQq-cA4mG9-cA4o6w-cA4rY1-cA4kyA-cA4nS1-a6n8fM-cA4kdo-cA4jXW-cnZ8SE-9FrKCo-9FtbEY-muV1pM-hFMmKt-dcNUqi-biAcGZ Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloucester Road Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Right, all the images ive seen of them are very white and clean. Some seem to have earth colour along the bottom and some rust on the ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RateTheFreight Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 There are also JGA wagon (unsure of livery) operations out of Oxwellmains on Scottish cement flows though principally on the Oxwellmains - West Thurrock flow. G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted July 31, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 31, 2018 Good photos, confusingly those are JGA-Ns (IIRC) which are not the ones the OP asked about, but still useful nonetheless, and an interesting design. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The Tarmac liveried hoppers are the ones that were built in Tilcon livery and the grey of this still exists on the ends as the sides were the only bit repainted! There are also the former Buxton Lime (BLI now prefixed VTG) and repainted white or off white open topped hoppers working with these out of Rhylstone .
