The recent extension of this website to include rail stock will cover wagons as well as locos and units. Seen at Lillie Bridge depot on 3rd March 2009 were a trio of ballast hopper wagons, with HW221 nearest the camera. Twenty-two of these 30ton capacity wagons were built by W H Davis of Shirebrook in 1981. The Gloucester bogies have brake control hand-wheels, while three wheels at each end of the wagons control the discharge chutes between and to either side of the rails. The slab sides of the hoppers originally had London Transport lettering, later replaced by Underground, but they are now plain. |
