The BSC PTA family
January 2021
|Rail Express
Brand-new ‘OO’ gauge models of the British Steel Corporation(BSC) PTA iron ore tippler wagon (and derivatives) have caused a lot of excitement in the D&E modelling community.
-
The model is based on the design equipped with BSC ‘Axle Motion’ bogies which excludes the first build of PTAs, constructed by BREL Shildon and introduced in 1972, a different design fitted with FBT10 bogies. Nos. BSSC26000-26106 are coded as PT001 and currently work between Immingham BSC Ore Terminal and Santon Foreign Ore Terminal at Scunthorpe.
Iron ore
The bulk of the BSC PTA (JTA/JUA) iron ore tippler wagons were built by Redpath Dorman Long at Middlesbrough to a different design to the PT001 PTAs. They are a distinctive design, of heavy construction with rugged external ribs, particularly on the ends and with no conventional solebar. Rotary couplings were fitted enabling rapid unloading without having to uncouple wagons.
