    Found this while walking out near my house the other day, its a poor photo but it says Railways on it, the first half of the lettering was hidden by the door. (probably British railways)

    Can't see it too clearly but is it a small container of the early style, like the examples recently restored at the Mid-Hants?

    Out of interest, does anyone know how many early 'conflat' type containers survive? Apart from the two at the Mid-Hants, I'm not aware of any others at preservation centres, or even derelict in farmers fields.

    I seem to recall from my last visit that there are a few of the wooden containers used for storage at the Plym Valley Railway, not sure what type they are though.

    There are a few of the early type containers around - the HRA wagons database reveals (after a very superficial scan) an "A" type container at the IoWSR and a "D" type at the GWR. I'm sure the NYMR has an "A" or "B" type as well, and I'm fairly sure that I have seen others at the SVR. I'm willing to bet there are more, though!

    Try http://www.conflat.co.uk/gcr_box.html

    This has list of BR containers waiting to be restored, or scrapped! The Bluebell Railway have a good Half container and an SR baggage box. The MHR have a few other containers beside the two restored ones.

    The chap who did the sign writing is Chris Le Corney the Chairman of our group.

    I think he cut out every individual number and letter on card , then sprayed over it and touched the surrounding area,s afterwards.

    Regards

    I was going to ask, since they are containers, how they were trans-loaded (If thats a word) - then I found this -

    That is how.....

    A big lifting thingy (technical term welcome).

    I doubt whether most would have been loaded/unloaded that way - far more likely that the simple mandraulic goods yard crane (or even cruder methods) would have been the method of choice in most instances. Still an intersting picture though.
