The trap I walked into a long time ago was to look at the numbers of 16T minerals in my then local coal yard in London in the 1970s. The bodies weren't all the same way round; it was much later that I found out that this was because they had been rebodied, not because they had been built that way...


I did the same with vacuum braked examples. I now have half a dozen built that need its removal.

Regards
Tony.

Indeed, but there is the satisfaction of knowing of knowing that you have the appropriate number on the wagon. :)
