    Trevor Mann and Peter Fidczuk identify this wagon as being a 1966 conversion of either plate, double bolster or tube wagons built between 1928 and 1936. The conversions were undertaken by W H Davis and numbered 74 in total. The wagons were used for carrying cut timber between the east cost ports and the Ashworth Kirk premises at Colwick, Notts. Withdrawal took place in 1971-72. HTH, James

    There's a photo on p37 of the latest Modern Locomotives Illustrated (180 - The 47s: Part 1) showing a Gresley Buffet in blue/grey approaching Paddington behind Brush Type 4 D1638 on 1st of June 1968. This apparently an ECS working that would form a departure to Birmingham. Sorry, but the pic's too small to read the coach number Cheers, James

    Thanks for this detailed explanation. I hope that I've understood it now. I take it that the computer rack mounts are something like big drawer runners? What is the maximum travel that they have? The idea of a vertically traversing fiddleyard has occupied a lot of the meetings of TOERAG lately. Perhaps your design will finally convince us to build something... Cheers, James

    David, I like the look of your fiddleyard. Any chance of sharing the dimensions and further constructional details? James

    Bill Bedford does an etched, sprung subframe for GWR plate bogies to which you could attach the sideframes from your kit. Cheers, James
