51 ton Fly Ash Presflo Wagon.
DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE., Location : Walton Old Junction Yard., Date : 07/03/2012., Type : 51 tonne Fly Ash Presflo Wagon., Weight : 51 t GLW / 12.8 t Tare., Number : 876063., Number Series : 876057 to 876064., Builder : 1984-85 by Procor Ltd, Horbury, Wakefield., TOPS Code : CSA., , ADDITIONAL NOTES., EWS bought a batch of surplus PCA presflo cement tanks from Rugby Cement Ltd and had them overhauled by the original builder (Procor) in 1999-2000 for use conveying bulk powder or PFA (Pulverised Fly Ash). Only 7 vehicles were outshopped numbered 876057 to 876064 and were former private owner series wagons in the RC 10050 to RC 10064 number range., , The wagons have seen next to no use at all since conversion and most languish in yards as "stored out of use". The only record use soon after conversion was a short lived flow of lime from Hindlow Lime Works in Derbyshire to Fifoots Power Station in Gwent plus a trial load with granulated lime from Hindlow to Mossend for use in the glass industry but the latter flow is generally in JAA or JIA bogie covered lime hoppers these days., , (A big thank you to Stu Daniels for gen on their use as I thought they had never been in revenue service since conversion).
