Shepard Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I am interested in modelling narrow gauge industrial railways and tramways and thus looking for the methods and equipment used to transfer loads of stone etc from the narrow gauge wagons to both Standard gauge wagons and canal vessels. I have a particular interest in the Glyn Valley Tramway near Chirk and its interface with the GWR and the Shropshire canal at Chirk. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Giles Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Similar to some methods used on the continent - although I'm not aware of it being done over here- it might have been! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandhole Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 If you look for photos of the Scaldwell & Finedon 3Ft & Metre gauge, respectively, systems, you will find two more discharge systems.The small sand, clay & peat systems usually used tippler wagons. I am absolutely sure somebody will come up with a wagon tippler system after reading this. S. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
