cleanerg6e Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Could someone please advise me as to whether the TTA tank wagons were in service at the end of the steam era in the 1960's. I only ask as I have a Telerail DVD which shows a oil tank train in the shape of TTA tank wagons from Heysham ( probably wrong spelling)Moss to Leeds Neville Hill being double headed by Black 5's and 9F's and also class 24 and 25 diesels double heading with 9F's Roy.

mick Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 From the information I can find online on the LTSV Wagons website it appears that the earliest TTA's were built from approx 1961/2 onwards: PDUF 52000-52027 1961 TTV Bitumen Tank Wagon SUKO 52230-52344 1962-1963 TTA Bitumen Tank Wagon My usual reference site for wagon photos is unobtainable (what's happened to fotopic?) so I'm not sure of the similarities between the various 40-49 ton tanks wagons but it would appear to be possible that the wagons on the video were indeed TTAs or a derivative of them.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fotopic.net Oh dear - that's not good. Let's just hope that users were sensible and had backups of their photo collections.
