A box for the modeller, not a box for the collector😂

[@Wallsrail]

😂 I was concerned that contents might be of the same quality 😬

@@Wallsrail can sacrifice one making a new mineral wagon on top of the chassis... now that's prototypical modelling

[@derhamburger9289]

Good value for the money. I must admit that some parts of the wagon (for example the handbrake linkage) looked a bit cheap though. And yes the new mic isn’t great.

I know of these wagons, but little about them in service. Post WWII there was of course the building boom, and bricks on pallets became common as a quick and convenient way to move them. A similar idea to the Palvans but more successful. Fletton on the LNER was notable for its bogie brick wagons, but where were the palbricks used?

[@Wallsrail]

Good question! To be honest, I don't know 😞 Photos of them in service are rare. I suspect the Bedfordshire back works had the majority? but on what traffic flows to which destinations? 🤷‍♂️ I've looked intently for pictures of them in the Peterborough brick fields but have yet to find any!

Nice video Mr train Man 👍🏻

[@robertbate5790]

Do any followers know where the vehicles were actually used? Evidence seems scarce, thanks.

I gave you a thumbs down by mistake . I hope it didn't go through. I was trying to push the other one.

Not to worry, I read somewhere that KZbin sees it as an engagement regardless. Apparently, the worst thing you can do for a video is watch 3 seconds then of it, click stop, then click off it so it disappears. How true that is 🤷‍♂️
