Axholme Wanderer

The accident was on the Axholme Joint Railway (owned 50/50 by the L&Y and NER) at Reedness Junction station, the only other details listed are that the engine (L&Y Class 25 number 950) ran away down hill when it’s vacuum brakes failed and the van was somehow damaged as a result. Thank you ever so much though for taking the time to write a thorough reply and suggesting that it is a D357 after all, I’m modelling the Axholme pre Great War around 1911 ish so I’m wanting to model a few of the wagons that got into a spot of bother on the system and adding a bit of variety into the L&Y and NER wagons is key. I looked at your MR van models at Warley show a few months ago and noticed you had a D357 present from the skaters kit, did you modify it in anyway or was it built as it comes roughly? thanks, Lewis

Hi all, I’ve been pointed towards this thread as I’m trying to track down the diagram of a MR van going solely of the running number of 114195 and the date it was involved in an accident (9th October 1912), a photo exists of a D357 with the running number of 114193 but I’ve been told 114195 might not necessarily be a D357, any help would be very much appreciated cheers
