curious article in local paper about a planned railway museum near melton
https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/farm-set-become-home-new-7348096
58023 is going to leicester depot for possible return to mainline use
could be the start of something if ukrl could buy some other 58s to create a small fleet of them
Which 4 wheel wagons are still in use?
I see that MEAs are used to carry sand
Also i have seen MFAs used for ballast and spoil
Are TTAs still used for aviation fuel? Anything else use them?
What is the code for the covered vans on Boston steel trains that are 4 wheel?
Presume...
what ex br wagons are currently operating overseas?
I read some seacows went to Bulgaria and some tankers went to the middle east...
have any other wagons been exported?
Tim
what are the oldest wagons still in revenue earning use on network rail metals?
What about coaches?
I'm guessing RTC network rail test train stock is pretty old but what about other operators?
Tim
just wondered when did disc headcodes go out of use?
I've just seen a few pictures of class 20s and 40s running in the 1980s with disc headcodes in various arrangements, assume they were just arranged in any way the driver wanted but had no actual meaning at this time?
Cheers

Is there a website that lists all the wagon types on the network, brief overview, technical details, how many there are and who operates or owns them?
cheers
