These web pages will hopefully provide info on a variety of wagon types which have seen use in the Peak District area of the UK in the past 20 years. The main source of traffic from this area is Limestone and Aggregates which are used in the Chemical and Construction industries. Each wagon type will include some piccies and text which describes what they were used for and when. Where available diagrams of the wagons will also be included.
Coming soon
An Illustrated History of the ICI Hopper Wagons
Due for publication late 2001
This new book from Cheona Publications as part of a new range of railway books entitled 'More Railway Profiles' series. The book will be chock full of photographs of the wagons in both the steam and diesel era's. Lots of archive photographs of the wagons will also be included as well as the wagons used both before and after the hoppers operated. Diagrams of the wagons will also be included as well. Expected to be 96 pages long; book price TBA. Contact me pharrison@cwcom.net for more details of this book.
These are the wagon types that I have an interest in at the present time although more will add more later. All of these wagons have at some time or other been seen in and around the Peak District. The Miscellaneous Wagon pages include those wagons that don't have their own pages as yet.
