    NWPG launches an appeal to save the last of the TTA wagons

    NWPG launches an appeal to save the last of the TTA wagons

    Because they are the middle and end of the history of oil by rail in small 4w tanks. All that's left now are bogie tanks (we have a prototype one so no need to look for more) The tanks are fairly unusual in that deferent designs and owners were amalgamated into this series.

    NWPG launches an appeal to save the last of the TTA wagons

    Only the early ones were... Air came in about 66. There is some ex vac at Gascoigne. BP and Shell operated combined fleets until 1976. After that the renumbering went crazy. Shell got 60% and BP got 40% of the split fleet. By 1981 many of the BP fleet were hanging. So they refurbished a load...

    NWPG launches an appeal to save the last of the TTA wagons

    The NWPG tend to focus their efforts on wagons that can be of use, such as engineering on the line and historical assets that revolutionised the railway but with the opportunity for all to see, hear and learn about them. There will be an education board going up at the Chasewater on the next...

    NWPG launches an appeal to save the last of the TTA wagons

    Well, these aren't scrap wagons. They will be used for a block rake demonstrator set with a TEA tank which the NWPG also own. A prototype wagon none-the-less. They will also be used on driver experience and photo charters. The NWPG has an excellent maintenance regimen too
