RMweb Gold DaveF Posted May 19, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2011 I saw the wagon in the photo below at South Newsham on the Blyth and Tyne on 23rd August 1993. Despite the taillamp it was being propelled at the time! My notes say "weedkilling?", I think there was a mention of it in a magazine at the time, but cannot be sure - probably Rail. Sorry for the poor quality, it was a very dull day. Does anyone know what it is? 56134 propelling wagon at South Newsham 23/8/93 David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably for doing sidings and crooks & nannys where the main weedkiller train can't get to. Not used yet by the lack of weathering ! Merf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted May 19, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 19, 2011 Looks like a converted SPA Plate wagon (produced in OO by Bachmann and N by Farish). Happy modelling. Steven B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I was a Train Load Coal conversion by Cambois C&W for the North East Coal area as their weedkiller train. Mark Saunders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
