    The first wagon behind the Loco is a private owner sand wagon that was used for sand to/from the various Pilkington's glass works in St Helens. Mark Saunders

    From what I was told the early "Twin Jib Tracklayers" were a real pain as they were not self propelled and quite often were used with a 350hp (08 or similar) and transit to and from worksite was even less fun. Mark Saunders

    The wagon is one of the two Tankflats built by Gloucester they were in internal use at Marchwood but I heard they may have been sold to Trackwork at Doncaster. Mark Saunders

    I believe that the ban was on the Whitstable branch due to the restricted loading gauge on one of the tunnels and ordinary goods vans were also prohibited and traffic that would have normally been in vans was in sheeted opens. Mark Saunders

    I think one of the most inspirational shot of them is the opening sequence for "the likely lads" (the later ones filmed on Tyneside). Will the rare Buffet car get produced? Mark Saunders

    They are the same just new bogies and air braked. For bogies try John Talbot of Appleby Model Engineering. Mark Saunders

    The new Parkside LNER chassis fits the Airfix body quite well and mixed with detailing parts from Dave Bradwell can only get better. Mark Saunders

    Does anyone know of the existance of any drawings of these hoppers as they would make nice models? Mark Saunders

    It was practice at many works to load wagons till they looked full!

    Is this in relation to a reprint of the original 1970 book or a S/H copy that can be found on Amazon for £102 or Abe books for £84? Mark Saunders

    The photo of AB491, has a NCB wagon body in the background does any one know anything about it as I have never seen any like this other than at/from Mountain Ash! It seems to have an end door but seems to look lower than a 21 tonner more like a16 tonner. Lettering and livery as per Yorkshire area. Any thoughts or alternate photographs please. Mark Saunders

    The other use is in reverse to try get your relief to a P'way train in the middle of nowhere! You know where you are but you then have to guide him to the nearest road access point! Mark Saunders

    The hoppers at BOCM Selby were Charles Roberts 20 ton Hoppers; at least one could be identified as a former 'Bedford Electricity Authority' wagon. Mark Saunders

    A nice shot but showing the Stewarts and Lloyds livery rather than the British Steel that Bachmann produce. Mark Saunders

    It looks like newly rebodied NCB Internal Users being delivered from Seaham Wagon Shops to Dawdon Colliery. Mark Saunders

    Shame they would make nice models! Mark Saunders
  24. Mark Saunders
    Do any of these still exist? Mark Saunders
  25. Mark Saunders
    Please remember that these are "Diagram books" for loading rather than drawings for modelling from, please take care if using for modelling purposes. Some are better than others! Mark Saunders
