| This is a line of underframes of Southern Railway 40 ton Ballast Hoppers. Twenty were built at Ashford in 1947 to Diagram 1775, with American-designed bogies.
Those in the photo have the end platforms and handrails, and are lacking the hopper and operating wheels.
There is a finished wagon behind the building on the right, near the steam locomotive. |
