Goods Wagons

This ex-ICI bogie hopper wagon was built as wagon no. 3329 by Charles Roberts & Co. of Wakefield in 1952, part of the third and final batch of a design first introduced in 1938. These historically important wagons once formed part of the block limestone trains which ran up to seven times daily between Tunstead, near Buxton in the Derbyshire Peak District, and the I.C.I. processing works at Northwich, revolutionising the transport of bulk limestone. The wagons were intensively used and are believed to have accumulated mileages of between 3 and 5 million miles during their working life.[1]

It was given BR TOPS no. 19129 and BR registration no. 183566.[2] It had a capacity of 48 tons[3][4], although the SVR Stock Book and Stanier 8F Society give a capacity of 1,230 cubic feet equating to 43½ tons. The TOPS code for this class of wagon was originally PHV, recoded to JGV in 1990.[5]

Motive power used to haul these wagons would have included Stanier 8F locomotives. The wagon is one of two acquired by the Stanier 8F Locomotive Society, although there is no record that 48773 was used to haul ICI mineral traffic. It arrived on 7 May 1994 and was photographed in April 2015 stored on the Stourport Triangle.

Sister 19052 was cosmetically restored in November 2020 and the Society appealed for further funds to enable volunteers also to cosmetically restore 19129[1].

Welcome to the Severn Valley Railway Wiki

From this week's featured article
"76738" is a London and North Western Railway Company 10-ton Goods Van, although it carries a fictitious number as its true identity is unknown. After restoration it saw limited use in the SVRSevern Valley Railway's demonstration goods train, but due to its age and wooden underframe it is now in static use as a sales coach at Bridgnorth.

For 101 years between 1862 and 1963, the Severn Valley Railway formed part of the national railway network, running for 40 miles between Hartlebury and Shrewsbury. Established as a separate company, it was mainly operated by the Great Western Railway (GWRGreat Western Railway) and later by British Railways (BRBritish Rail or British Railways).

The present day Severn Valley Railway (SVRSevern Valley Railway) was established in 1965 to preserve part of the line as a heritage railway. Today it has six stations and two halts and runs for 16 miles along the Severn Valley between Bridgnorth in Shropshire and Kidderminster in Worcestershire, following the course of the River Severn for much of its route. Operations involve a mixture of steam and heritage diesel-hauled services.
