Which lines specialise in wagon types?
I'm thinking of rakes of wagons such as the 30 plus opens on the GCR.
Who has a train load of Tank wagons.
Ballast Hoppers.
Any freightliner trains?

The National Wagon Preservation Group (https://www.nwpg.co.uk/) seem to have partnered with several railways to build up rakes of appropriate wagons.

Dean Forest - TEA/TTA tank wagons
Bodmin and Wenford - CDA China Clay wagons
Chasewater - MGR wagons

Obviously the Ffestiniog is known for its long rakes of slate wagons, regularly run under gravity alone.
The FR/WHR also has a collection of ex-South African goods stock (Open wagons, tankers and brake vans) which get occasionally run with their matching ex-SAR Garratt locos, but also get used for day-to-day movement of ash/coal/etc.

And a full train of box vans (painted in BR Bauxite), usually also stabled in Quorn yard!
