BR 12 Ton End Door Covered Goods Wagon Diagram 214 - RMweb
In the last-but-one version of RMWeb, there was some discussion of the peculiar end-door-only BR-built vans used for traffic from Metal Box at Carlisle to a couple of locations in the North-West of England and South-West Scotland. I have a recollection that someone had actually turned up some information regarding the terminal arrangements at one of the plants involved. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to access the old Forum, and aren't too sure what thread this was mentioned in. Can anyone help? "Railways of Scotland Vol 12 - The South West" - hidden in the best 7 minutes of railway cinefilm ever made (Stranraer to Dumfries, backwards, at about 600 mph), is a brief glimpse of the Carnation Milk factory at Dumfries, which I think is what Cross was referring to. Certainly I couldn't find any reference to Metal Box having any presence in the town but this was based on Google rather than proper research. The factory was built in the 30s (think cream-painted Superquick dairy but bigger) and had a trailing connection off the up Port Road facing Dumfries, with three or four parallel sidings and a head shunt. I presume (and it is only a presumption) that the vans were loaded with empty cans at Metal Box in Carlisle, and then filled with condensed milk or somesuch at Dumfries and Milnthorpe. I've read a reference to McNeil and Bibby's somewhere but can't remember where. I presume the door arrangements were to suit an end loading dock at Metal Box but that's just a guess. Sorry to be late coming to this thread... Somewhere (maybe in Transport Age?) there's a photo of one of these vans parked aginst the end-loading dock at the Metal Box factory. Brand new and shiny tins cans are coming off a conveyor and they are being individually stacked by hand(!) into the van. This seems incredibly inefficient even for the 1950s, so perhaps it's just a posed publicity shot.
