Im currently half way through the SSM kit of the ballast plough , ( in preparedness for the hoppers )
couple of questions
( when did they loose the half doors )
did the lamps above the ducket serve the same purposes as the rear lamps or were they for another purpose, I notice the ordinary CIE 20 ton brake vans has the same arrangement
Because these vans typically ran in pairs , I going to scratch build 8456, which was the last surviving GSWR plough van in service , I believe .
here she is doing her stuff
[MOD: image removed by request]
Questions
she was part of the GSWR build of 1906 and according to Locomotives & Rolling Stock , was on a 13' wheelbase.
They were extensively remodelled by CIE , without outside sheeting, and enlarged windows
Questions
(1) When was the series reengineered , were all of the original GSWR done so and if so when were they scrapped
(2) The running gear was all new roller axles , was the wheel base shortened ?
(3) Has anyone an outline drawings of the plough van , in original GSWR or more usefully the reengineered version
I did locate some very nice pics on the net of her in mallow, goo up close ones, and I cant find them again !!!
OH, did these vans all run with 3-hole disc wheels or did they run with solid wheels ?? and when did CIE introduce " Engineering yellow "?
