This is a really unique channel. They are lots of channels dedicated to locomotives of auto restoration but there is a real lack of channels talking about uk wagons. I like these classic wagons, there very charming.

Thank you very much! I do hope to one day have my own loco but for now wagons are very much the priority and I have plenty to be getting on with!

Hi Ollie...In my day, many, many years back, I remember those hooks were being used for ropes to secure tarpaulin sheeting meant to keep the goods dry and feeling them for tightness. Great to see you taking on saving another vital piece of rolling stock saving it from scrap, you're a brave man!! Wish there were more like you, and thanks for doing what you do. 👍

Really superb channel, I've enjoyed the brake van up to now can't wait for the boxvan & the tube wagon over the coming months. I did notice a glimpse ofa brake van that was in a real poor state maybe another one for future project , keep up the GOOD work 👍 . Can't wait.

My brake van brakes are 90% complete so the next video from the brake should be the last of the brake rigging before I finally get on with something different!

Another wagon!!! Your full of surprises Ollie...its going to be great to follow the progress on your fleet now. All the best.

Now it,s a proper train set. All the best. Carl.

Just need a loco to pull it all now! Hope you enjoyed :)

Fantastic. Just at the point about the hooks. They are for tying down loads. They would also be used to secure tarpaulins over any other potential loads that would go in that may be required to be covered from the elements

Please explain why it is called a tube wagon. Did it originally carry pipes etc?

It's good to see it all dry and workable, Ollie. A relief at least. Rigging air-brakes sounds like a lot of piping but if it brings it up to the CVR's running requirements, all power to your elbow! Thanks for the post. Keep safe Ollie. Cheers!

Indeed but still plenty of work to do, hopefully the next couple of years she’ll be top notch!

The hooks on the underside were used for tying the ropes on the tarpaulins if the wagon needed to be covered. These would carry a variety of different loads - not just tubes and pipes.

The hooks may have (or may also have) been used for shunting in yards where heavy horses were used for this purpose.

Hi Ollie Another wagon project! you must like hard work too much, lol. Is there any more videos on the box van coming soon or are you trying to finish the brake van first, you are taking on a lot of work but then someone has to do it, lol. Good luck with this and no doubt more future wagon projects. Its nice to see your work come to fruition, by the time you have a rake of 5 or 6 wagons they will look fantastic, being pulled along by a loco. 👍👍

Yeh, as time is limited on the pit, its best to get as much as I can done but trust me I can't wait to work on something other than the brakes but it had to be done! Will get a video on the box van done once I am off the pit. As you say, someone has to do it lol!

The metal plate on the planking at about 5:40 is likely just a patch put in to cover a hole in a rotten plank. Your brave in trying to air fit this wagon. I would have thought the design of the handbrake mechanism precludes this from being converted. The Axleboxes are definitely BR replacements. Originally it probably had split boxes where the bottom half drops away for servicing

@WardleRestorations

Жыл бұрын

Yes the axle boxes were changed when BR took it over. The wood behind the metal plate is fine so it can't have been patchwork

My only problem is that the brakes have been partially dis-engaged so they are locked on and I have no idea (as of right now) how the brake rigging should look...
