Excellent reply! 'fire_and_flames' gave as good as he got!

They also produced the book 'Private Owner Wagons of the North East - volume one - The Chaldrons' written by John Elliott (published in '94). Full of usefull drawings for scratchbuilders.

Hope that helps.

I don't think there was a volume two, however instead they produced

 

Elliott, John & Charlton, Derek (1994) Backworth An illustrated history of the mines and railways. Publ. Chilton Iron Works, Tyne & Wear, 116 pages ISBN 09523672 1 1

 

This has a few more photographs of the chaldrons, but also is good for illustrating some of the smaller hoppers which developed from them. As well as a great deal about where these wagon types worked.

 

Sorry not easy to get this - the one on Abe books is more than £160 (not a typo!) Mines going straight into a cover!

 

Several of the Chaldron wagon book are also on Abe books, rather more reasonable £11 - 12 plus postage.
