Fat Controller Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I have been trying to find out what kind of traffic these wagons would do in Cornwall and images of them but all i can seem to find is the bogie version of the Cargowagon. If anyone could help tell me where i can find images and information i would appreciate there help. Thanks, Samuel. Bagged china clay? There were also a series of trains in conjunction with the solar eclipse a few years ago, carrying mineral water. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen pictures of these wagons in Cornwall in trains hauled by classes 37, 47 and 50 (they came after 45s disappeared from Cornish workings) at least but can’t remember where I saw them.

The Bigbee Line Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Was the Evian traffic the flow which was running to Neasden at one time? Yes that’s the one. I visited the terminal at Neasden a couple of times. Might have some pictures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mevaman Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I have photos of Evian liveried wagons at St Blazey working China clay. They were pretty regular and I have seen as many as 4 sets on the Enterprise services. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc2016 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 238029290463 at Ely Potter Group showing off a replacement door 10th August 2001. The door was the result of a 'sideswipe' at St Blazey. I dealt with damage claims on PO wagons and had to settle this one. The door cost EWS over £8K, the job was completed by Wabtec who used an 'aluminium fabricator'. They made an excellent job. I will look through my archives and see what I can find out regarding Cornish traffic. I have a couple of industry colleagues who worked down at St Blazey, who might be able to pin down the traffic. 238029290463.jpg Thanks for the information. It is interesting to know how much it cost back then for a repair i bet it would be a lot more now. That wagon number is one of the models Kernow have choosen to do. Bagged china clay? There were also a series of trains in conjunction with the solar eclipse a few years ago, carrying mineral water. Thanks for the information. Do you know when the solar eclipse was? Bagged China clay. I have seen pictures of these wagons in Cornwall in trains hauled by classes 37, 47 and 50 (they came after 45s disappeared from Cornish workings) at least but can’t remember where I saw them. Thanks for the useful information. Do you know if they these wagons were in block or individual formation? I have photos of Evian liveried wagons at St Blazey working China clay.

sc2016 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Just another quick question did these wagons work in Cornwall from when they were first released and did they work in multple (same wagons) or individually (with other wagons)? Thanks, Samuel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted August 12, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 12, 2018 Thanks for the useful information. Do you know if they these wagons were in block or individual formation? In Cornwall they were used in small numbers in the formation of speedlink trains, not block trains. There’s also a photo on Flickr taken in 1992 of 37672 picking up a couple of IZAs from the exchange sidings at Bodmin Parkway, so they were used for the Fitzgerald Lighting traffic as well. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc2016 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Hi i have done some more researching on these wagons but can't seem to find a photo or video of one in the revised livery all the ones i have seem to find is the ones in original livery. So my question is did these wagons run in Cornwall with the revised livery? Thanks, Samuel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdvle Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 In the Revolution Trains section (class 321) someone posted a link to Revolution's March newsletter which at the end indicates that the twins go into tooling in this month with samples hopefully end of June. https://us8.campaign-archive.com/?u=f24e36cafcafabf07d09722c1&id=340d4864efhttps://us8.campaign-archive.com/?u=f24e36cafcafabf07d09722c1&id=340d4864ef Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
