Only one of the four waggons depicted in full is carrying registration plates and licensed to operate on the public highway, which suggests that most were acquired predominantly for internal use. 24 minutes ago, Athy said: Lovely. I do hope it's still in working order and not just "stuffed and mounted". From memory in the 60's it was rare to see one outside the gates and certainly not far away, except for the Lord Mayors Parade, but I presume in earlier days more road work was done. From the links provided above I see that number 6, when it went to Glasgow, had a tax disc franked in Sheffield on 24 May 1971 and seems to have not been steamed since the 70's probably not long after the Brighton run mentioned by madannie77 above.

Unitedite Returns Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 That's what I love about this site, the way a better picture is built up from lots of bits and pieces. Incidentally, does anyone out there happen to know the Sentinel Works Numbers and build years for all nine of the Brown Bayleys' steam waggons? And as to whether they were acquired new, or second-hand, i.e. ex-WW1 army surplus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
