Assuming they're on the Billingham Beck branch? 

 

And is that a Birdcage brake van outside Haverton Hill shed?

...this is a better view of it...and, don't blame me if you get hooked onto Britain from above, its all Uncle Pourseas fault...he put me onto it.

 

oh an here are another 5 bogie vans from 1949...

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...

...I wonder of 106375 is amongst these 7 from 1950...

 

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.

And just out of shot is two Pulverite bunkers. (not that anyone would be interested in that).

And 7 to the very left and 48DS to the left of the second hull up.

Already hooked...

Presumably the one with what looks like three vertical cylinders?  Was going to ask what that was!  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.

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:

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.

You need to start a 'Porcy's Perfect Pulverite Pictures' thread...

Four and a half miles from Blakey Junction, well, it should be about 150 yards back around the corner but I wanted to include it.

And the distance post, the very end of the line.

And if this doesn't keep those pesky sheep out, I don't know what will...

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?
