Thread: Rolling Stock For Sale

hi, is this coach still for sale, if so how much? regards pete sellars

Hi, it is still for sale. Price wise I am open for offers.

Would there be any interest in an ex GWR hopper wagon?

Would that be this one?

NER DE 131 Coke Hopper built 1893 (Yes, I know it says NER hopper, but I don't see which other hopper on the NYMR it could be)

Might be worth contacting GWS at Didcot or the GWR 813 group, both of whom might be interested.

Is the original GWR number known? It is quite likely to be stamped into the underframe somewhere, probably on the left hand end when facing it.

Thats the one. GWR number not known but will check when next I see it.
As I understand it, it is to GWR P6 or P7 design but modified with higher sides in later industrial use.
We bought it from Rowntree's in York. How it got there is another question.
I cannot see any other GWR hoppers listed as preserved, is this correct?

I am not aware of any other preserved GWR hoppers, so that would make it unique.

Here is a photo taken in may 1981 just prior to despatch of 131 and 2 others from Rowntrees in York.
They are modified by higher sides.

The weight is around 9.25 tonnes with the extended sides.
The other 2 wagons were disposed of a number of years back due to corrosion. The underfames of at least 1 however have been reused, I believe, under the NYMR cattle wagon.
The second photo shows it after repaint in 1985.
