KPEV Goods wagon books and/or fleet composition around 1920?
U36B replied to a topic in German Railways
All German goods wagons owned by the DR 192O (including those build since the 1880s) until today are covered by Stephan Carstens et al : Güterwagen Vol. 1-9 . Very expensive but well worth it.- numerous drawings, photos, data und often modelling hints: https://www.stefancarstens.de Vol, 6 (brake vans) includes in depth roster discussions, and for example, half of the vans owned 1920 were Verbandsbauart standard Stephan -

May be the idea is not just British but Continental too? Think about the Dutch Railways - NS had Class 11, Class 76 (for a short time but still...) and 77s. Many steam locos were build in the UK and might be adapted to/from British Locos. And there were of course the WD 2-8-0 and 2-10-0s.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trains_in_the_Netherlands#Steam_locomotives With the right partner, British TT could give Dutch TT a boost...... Oh, Piko is a major manufacturer in NS N-scale Models, and they are in TT too -hmmmmm And then there are/were Class20 /37/ and 58 in France/Spain and lately rail adventure HSTs and Class 86/87 in Bulgaria and Hungary ..... I am not in TT scale but i would be tempted by a Class 08 and some clay wagons plus Polybulks and Ferryvans.....

Look like a dutch PA ("porteur aménagé") container to me - an idea which was quickly adopted by other continental railways. I could not find a picture of NS PA- container, but here is a German one: More on german ones: https://modellbahnfrokler.de/foto/bzf-bawue-ekrt.jpg There were even DB PA ferry-flats (10 build in 1957)-I could not find any pictures of these cars, but here is a link for a H0 kit: https://www.wagenwerk.de/fahrzeuge/gueterwagen/5683/bausatz-faehrboot-behaeltertragwagen-btbs-56-epoche-iii-beschriftung-3d-druck As for the UK loading gauge, the PA containers were loaded sideways, like on the truck in the picture above Stephan

Sadly Sidney Poitier passed away on Friday, January 7. In the the famous 1967 movie "In the Heat of the Night" Poitier played Virgil Tibbs, a homicide detective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d15DhX_ltls&t=156s The movie starts and ends at the Railway station - some great RR footage with a GM&O E-Unit and MoPac Diesels and roundhouse: https://obscuretrainmovies.wordpress.com/2019/03/01/in-the-heat-of-the-night-1967/ Great film with a great actor and some great RR scenes.

JAMIE'S RANDOM AMERICAN RAILWAY PHOTOS.
U36B replied to jamie92208's topic in USA & Canadian Railroads
Thanks for great pictures!! The PC car is a Seaboard Coast Line car - and the UP and BN cars got wheel inspection dots (yellow circle on black square). Very 1978ish: http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/13/t/163471.aspx Cheers Stephan -
Very nice RP 25 wheels are sold by http://www.modellbahn-radsatz.de/h0/radsaetze-h0-rp25/jouef/index.php Availability in the UK (and hmmmm the North Frisian Islands ) is also difficult. You could try to contact them via their E-Bay shop: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/benno002-22?_trksid=p2047675.l2563
