3-Ton Slate Waggons (Braked)
Further examples of 3-ton slate wagons with ratcheted brakes
Notes from the 009 dundas models kits of these wagons (believed to have been prepared with assistance from the FR Archives), state that the following 3-ton braked slate wagons were built:
- Second 3t batch from Brown Marshalls (first batch were all unbraked) 1870/1. 28 built with dead buffers and 2 with spiral sprung buffers. New type axleboxes. Example historic numbers 825 and 870 (dead buffers) and 873 (spiral)
- Later Boston Lodge built wagons between 1872-82. 43 built with new type axleboxes and spiral sprung buffers. Example historic numbers 7, 142, 256, 264, 330, 396, 402, 410, 412, 451, 461, 469, 876, 945, 946, 947, 965 and 969.
The last wagons were produced in 1882 and all future orders were 2t, which were preferred by the quarries.
1895 livery was brick red with black floor and running gear.
1925 livery was dark grey or black all over or in combination.
