    Definitely Lot 410, built March 1903 with sheet supports from new and DC1 brakes.

    Sounds an excellent idea to me

    Stephen, I'm afraid neither 10071 or 10170 were ever 4 planks. 10070 was built as part of Lot 345 in June 1901

    Stephen, Does this help?

    Yay, sadly having escaped into town this afternoon to get a copy, the local WHS still had the previous edition on the shelves!

    Wooden plank load

    Chrisbr commented on wenlock's blog entry in Wenlock's Blog

    Very nice indeed, finishes the wagon off really well. Can't wait to see it in the flesh in a couple of weeks time at Basingstoke show.

    Tony, According to GWR Goods Wagons it is to diagram DD3 - Cylindrical Tank Wagon for Oil, Creosote etc 3108 gall - Lot 335 There are pictures of 43931 and 43939 with plates in the book. From the Wagon register it was built in Aug 1901 and there is no definitive scrap date. It has Exeter Depot Jun 1959 and Croes Newydd Jan 1960 annotated on the line. regards, Chris

    Dave, The different door bangers are testament to your fidelity to the prototype as I'm sure you meant to say....
  10. Chrisbr
    Stephen, You're correct, I believe the lot contains more than the 123 I've found so far.... I mislead Graham earlier. Chris
  11. Chrisbr
    Graham. We know 2 wagons of this lot had plates - 10793, recorded as New lever and photgraphed as DC1 and 10995 recorded as Right Hand New Lever and photographed as DC1X. Given they were built within 3 weeks of each other, it doesn't seem unreasonable that the other 85 wagons built under this lot in the same timeframe also carried plates..... Chris

    Use this reference from NLS maps - https://maps.nls.uk/view/101606175 Top left hand corner of the map.

    Are you able to provide the source for photgraphic evidence of 73189 carrying plates please? So far although I have come across 7 plated 4 plank wagons that was not one of them. 73189 was built in Dec 1899 and is at the early end of the build timeline of known 4 planks carrying plates that I have along with 632 and 1309 also bult in 1899.

    1-100,000 are in York, so I presume the higher numbers are at Kew. The first wagon to bear the number 1 was recorded as being built in 1847 (there were 2 more to carry the number)
  15. Chrisbr
    Sample is Lots 254, 296, 355 and 374. Not really started to be fitted until 1904, so not much use to you I'm afraid....
  16. Chrisbr
    Having done some research on 4 plank opens in the GWR wagon registers at York, from a sample of just over 500 built around the turn of the last century, just less than 10% never had sheet rails, a third had them fitted by the end of 1910 and nearly all the remainder were fitted by end of 1920. So yes, a common modification it would appear

    Starting to look very much like a certain photo I studied a few weeks ago

    @Compound2632, Why so many ED ballast plates - Designer error - I got carried away laying out the etch... there are two versions however deliberately for Mike to choose between, one taken from the info provided by Mike, but the second one as a result of a photo I found online which suggested the numerals were larger than the letters on the bottom line, I have no idea if both are correct and one is early and one later, so provided both for Mike to choose. Regards, Chris

    I just love the fact that when Simon takes a photo from one end, you can no longer see the other end!! This is just amazing and I can't wait to see it in real life. Keep up the excellent work Simon.
  20. Chrisbr
    Many thanks.
  21. Chrisbr
    Nearholmer, Any chance of seeing a copy or providng a link to said photo please?
  22. Chrisbr
    Mike, If you have/can access a drawing with dimensions, I would be happy to get them 3d printed for you.. Choice of attached or separate keys.... Regards, Chris
  23. Chrisbr
    @wenlock, I have experimented with etched 7mm wagon cast number plates, see below. Numbers to suit wagon lot..... Chris

    Which aspect of the Up passenger working perplexes?
  25. Chrisbr
    Whilst not claiming to be an expert, surely the headshunt past 7 points provides protection for the passenger line?
