DB 991853 - 'Grampus' Once a common sight on works trains - a very useful wagon with drop side doors. Margam, 1985. Colin Baker (lokfuehrer@ntlworld.com)

ZHV DB550032 A former MCA used to carry spoil ballast. The holes were cut in the side after it was found that the wagons were being overloaded - old ballast being a lot heavier than the coal the wagons were designed for. Apparently this was the largest class of wagons built by BR - 206444 vehicles in total. Margam, 1985. Colin Baker (lokfuehrer@ntlworld.com)

ZKO DB384368. A former iron ore tippler wagon which ended its life as departmental. Unfitted wagons (i.e. - wagons without automatic brakes) often carried a grey livery. The oil axle boxes are easy to see in this photo. The white card with an orange stripe was used with withdrawn vehicles - it would say 'ONE JOURNEY ONLY'. Margam, 1985.

ZBA DB110329 - 'Bass' A former OBA. Between the wagon and the control tower building you can see the hump for shunting which was closed in the early 1980's. Margam, 1985. Colin Baker (lokfuehrer@ntlworld.com)

MEA M391107. These mineral wagons use the underframes of HAA MGR hoppers with a strong open toped box body that take a lot of punishment when loaded and unloaded by digger machines. This wagon has a M prefix to its number. In the run up to privatisation in the UK three freight businesses were set up and some added a company prefix to some of their wagons numbers - M for Mainline in this case. The M prefix was previously used for former LMS wagons in the British Rail wagon numbering scheme. Margam, 29th July 2005. Colin Baker (lokfuehrer@ntlworld.com)
