A total of 894 'Salmon' bogie flat wagons were produced between 1949 and 1961. The fleet were based on an earlier LMS design, but most were built by British Rail workshops at Derby and Wolverton. as well as some private firms. A single wagon could carry multiple 60ft lengths of rails at a time, whilst a rake could transport 600ft wlded rails. Two modernisation programmes have taken place, the first in the 1980s saw many fitted with air brakes (recoded as YMA wagons). The second, starting in 2009, saw the class rebogied and fitted with new stanchions. (Information provided by Hornby) |
