Iron Ore Hopper BR Lime M690386

Constructed between the early-1920s and mid-1930s the LMS produced numerous iron ore hoppers using a variety of diagram numbers, however for the most part they looked identical. Built by several contractors, diagrams 1893, 1894, 1941 and 1942 only differed with the steel that was used to construct them and a handful of buffer varieties.

With a carrying capacity of 20 tons, the iron ore wagons were used for carrying a plethora of raw materials throughout their lifetime and received numerous extensions, additions and alternations in their later lives to accommodate their new owners.

Several were converted to carry lime, requiring a covered roof with a loading hatch. These were issued a new diagram number as Dia. 2194.

The original design clearly proved its worth, as they found several industrial homes once BR had finished with them. The National Coal Board acquired large numbers, to increase their overall carrying capacity many wagons were further fitted with wooden-planked tops that they dubbed ‘greedy boards’.
