RMweb Premium Metropolitan H Posted January 13, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2019 Nah. He's rolling a tab. Where is his TARDIS - his mode of dress looks out of place with the rest of the picture (mind you it is in colour rather than sepia)! But I am impressed by the whole scene. Well done.

But what you haven't mentioned is the Ruston 48DS (with runner wagon) that can be seen working in a complex that isn't mentioned in the books. It could be the one from the works just up the roads. I doubt it's one of the three that worked at neighbouring establishments just a few hundred yards away but on the opposite side of the river. Maybe we should take this "Spot the Ruston" game over to the Ruston thread. I've spotted another in a different phot. I'm sure Uncle P will tell us what they were being loaded with...and the white staining around the drop down door must be some kind of clue... No idea. I wonder if the wagons were pooled and used to exchange bagged traffic between D&L's Clarence chemical works and one of ICI's processes or vice versa? There's a singleton parked up directlty under the aerial flight that carried anhydrite to Casebourne's cement works in this shot with another two further along the siding. Bottom right. https://britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/EAW030454 And just out of shot is two Pulverite bunkers. (not that anyone would be interested in that).

Any more "normal" views of this type? Just a selection from the HMRS. They have a shed load more but non of the Head Wrightson (as in the aerial) builds that were used on the traffic from Pulverites main works in the NE. https://hmrs.org.uk/std-pulverised-fuel-wc2-20t-covered-hopper-1000.html https://hmrs.org.uk/std-pulverised-fuels-red-diamd-20t-covered-hopper.html https://hmrs.org.uk/powell-duffryn-hengoed-20t-pulverised-fuel-hopper-no-60-lettered-p-d-a-c-ex-works-order-1232.html There was an article published on there use in Yorkshire and Wales in BRILL but I can't remember the issue number. They were used local to me until the closure of the Relly Mill/Bishop Auckland line when the traffic went over to road. Best I can do for the Head Wrightson builds is this 1967 video grab: I have an unscanned glass plate of 4 being unloaded but until I fix my scanner it shall remain on the glass plate. Road traffic was important to the company: NCB had a Pulverised Coal Service: Untitled by Graham Newell, on Flickr Probably the best way to build a model is used hornbys Coke metal wagon chassis and Airix/Dapol 35t GLW tanks (Same Diameter) for the 3 upright tanks. There is a picture some were on the interwebby of 2 tanks being shunted at the Durham Works. Think it is One of the Yahoo Groups wagon sites. P Edited to apologise to Mr. G for thread drift.

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted February 3, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2019 Like a cat just back from the cattery, I'm going around putting my mark on all my favourite places - so they show up in "Content I Posted In". Sheep are intelligent enough to know a fine is no penalty to the penniless, so since they haven't a shilling let alone forty, they'll ignore Mr Wilkinson's cast sign if it suits them. The lettering looks raised - is it etched or another clever piece of trompe l'oeil? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
