This shows the new floor as the one that comes with the kit isn't right (I hope that mine is) also I've tried etched W irons on this one .The photos should show what I've done I just need to tidy it up a bit .It does make for a better running wagon.

Hi I know that a few of you are interested in these wagons
If you look on Rmweb under Prototype discussions (not questions) there is a thread on them P7 20ton hoppers which has some good photos of the interior of them

This is one drawing - the LNER version:
Hartley Hill The Other Side Of The Fence (post 78)

The drawing John illustrates above is an earlier NER drawing - note timber end stanchions, the LNER version has T section rolled steel stanchions.
It will be interesting to see what other detail changes appear on the LNER built examples by comparing the drawings.
Hi
I'll get some copies done when I'm back in blighty over Christmas I hope that they reproduce ok
John

It was good to see that thread again

Hi John

My model of the LNER version of the hopper stalled when I got to the W-irons, could I ask where you got yours from? They look like Slaters in the photographs but I didn't think Slaters did anything suitable.

Hi JP
Yes they are slaters and they come with the kit. Have you got any photos of your model I would like to see it and I'm sure others would aswell

Hi John

Yep it's a Slaters kit, and I should have been more specific I was referring to your sprung w-irons.
