O GAUGE – LEEDS MODEL COMPANY (‘LMC’) THREE DISTRESSED/AGED WAGONS FOR SPARES/REPAIR/REBUILDS.
THE FIRST IS AND LNER 25 ton HIGH CAPACITY FISH/BOX VAN RUNNING NUMBER FOR ‘NE’ 102497. SOMEWHAT AT ODDS WITH THE DESCRIPTION IN RAMSAYS (W9) THERE IS NO REFEREICE TO R F STEDMAN. THE INSCRIPTIONS ON THE LITHOGRAPHED BODY READS – ‘TARE 15-0-0’ AND ‘YORK/NORTH JUNCTION SHED/ TO CARRY 25 TON’ I THINK THE BOGIES ARE THE ORIGINAL. ONE SET OF WHEELS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN GROUND CLEAN AND THE AXLES AND EXTERNAL RIMS PAINTED BLACK. THE OTHER SET WHICH ARE IDENTICAL HAVE JUST BEEN LEFT AND THERE IS NO SEPARATION ON THE AXLES WHICH MEANS THE WHEELS CAN CATCH THE BOGIE BASE. THE ROOF IS DISFIGURED POSSIBLY FROM DAMPNESS. THE BUFFERS ARE STANDARD LEEDS FIXED OVAL WITH SPRUNG 3 LINK CHAIN AND CONNECTING HOOK.
THE SECOND IS ‘TRUE SCALE’ 12 ton BAKELITE 7 PLANK 12 ton OPEN WAGON FOR ‘GW’ RUNNING NUMBER 245157 (IDENTICAL TO THE PHOTO IN RAMSAYS) IT HAS THE LMS STICKER ON THE BASE AND THE SOLE BAR HAS ‘LMC’ ON IT. BUFFERS ARE THE STANDARD LMC RIGID OVALS WITH SPRUNG THREE LINK CHAIN CONNECTING HOOK. ONE AXLE HOUSING HAS BEEN DAMAGED BUT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN GLUED BACK TOGETHER. 4 HOLE STEEL WHEELS. WHICH SPIN REASONABLY WELL.
THE THIRD IS A WOODEN PRIVATE OWNER OPEN WAGON FOR CAWOODS OF LEEDS RUNNING NUMBER 1499. THE WAGON BODY AND THE LITHOGRAPHED PRIVATE OWNERS LABEL IS ORIGINAL AS ARE THE OVAL RIGID BUFFERS AND THE WOOD BASE AND SOLE BAR WHICH BEARS THE INSCRIPTION ‘LEEDS MODEL COMPANY’. HOWEVER THE CONNECTING HOOKS ARE NOT ORIGINAL AND NEITHER IS THE AXLE AND WHEEL UNIT WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CUT FROM A TIN AND IS A BIT HEATH ROBINSON. I DOUBT THE RUSTY WHEELS ARE ORIGINAL.
PLEASE USE THE E-BAY MAGNIFIER FOR CLOSE UPS OF THE DETAILS. PLEASE E MAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR FOR MORE SCANS. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK IF YOU BID.
