Something to do with PW, so a ballast tipper?

Well the mystery continues, there are now 3 of them!

Like building a kit

Each has a removable roof/loft

three in a row

Those end tipping doors...

The side doors....

The roof hatches...?

The loft spaces...

But what on earth are they for?

Planked (must do that in the light next time) and varnished the interior. Why the heck does the inside need varnishing?!

is it because you bought 5 Gallons of varnish and are trying to use it ?

Articulated hearse wagon for use in case of multiple bereavements? (The central part of the roof hinges open to crane the coffins in and out vertically, and the flat parts of the roof at either end are for floral tributes?)

The end doors (which I had forgotten about until re-reading this thread just now) are clearly for unloading the coffins at the graveside - or rather, at the end of the grave. A temporary siding will be laid along where each row of graves will go, then is progressively lifted to enable each grave in turn to be dug and used. A supply of suitably tatty jubilee track will be required.

So that's not so much a branch line but a dead end

Hmmmm silence from Mr Bond.

Either its very close to being right or he's fainted at my pun.

Dr. Bond of the DVLR · Post by **Dr. Bond of the DVLR** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 8:25 pm

No no, its nowhere near the correct answer, (a nice idea for next years MOTY though...)

The new line runs from woodbridge to snape, and the wagons are designed totally around functionality. See what you make from that...

Good clue Zach lets see it it helped.

I think these are phosphate quarry wagons loaded from the top and tipped from the back to empty.

Beer?

Dr. Bond of the DVLR · Post by **Dr. Bond of the DVLR** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 8:56 pm

Nope - I've got quarry tippers for that purpose! (and the quarry is at bawdsey/holesleigh)

and

Nope although closer I suppose...

What do you mean, "closer I suppose" that's rather cruel Mr Bond!
