NIRCLASS80 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Just after uploading some photos of these wagons awaiting scrapping in Ballymena. These must be a modelling nightmare due to the differences in every wagon. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nirailfan/ Quote
Glenderg Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Great photos! Kirley made a few of those. Think it nearly broke him. Something like 64 parts per wagon? Quote
heirflick Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 never noticed before - are they are the same wagon, showing different sides? Quote
Dunluce Castle Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Yes, all of the spoil wagons were built exactly the same, 70 I think we're bought, the unique thing with these wagons is that there is only 1 door and that's on 1 side only. Quote
UP6936 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Well that explains a lot! I thought there was the hopper type ones and a slab sided one, never new they where different sides of the one thing! Have any of them been preserved? Quote
heirflick Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 thanks for posting the thread Nir - every day is a learning day!! Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 For the modeller, they were delivered in. Sort of light greyish duck-egg blue, with "U T" in black along the side, and the number. They became so grubby that this colour became 100% obscured by dirt, thus the correct "livery" when working is just a complete covering of muck and brake-dust weathering! I don't believe any were ever repainted. Quote
leslie10646 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) PROVINCIAL WAGONS SPOIL WAGON KIT Subject to Special Delivery working next Wednesday morning, I'll have the pre-production version of my Spoil wagon on view at Bangor on 12/13 April. Unlike the 64 parts in Kirley's version, mentioned by Glenderg above, the kit will have about 20 parts - four sides, a chassis, buffers couplings etc - not quite Airfix kit ease, but close!
