Manufacturer description

Steel-bodied mineral wagons were developed from the 1930s, with wagon builder Charles Roberts pioneering the slope-sided design. The tippler variant was ordered by Stewarts and Lloyds Ltd, the steel manufacturer of Corby and 700 of these wagons without doors were built between 1939 and 1940. Unloaded using a rotary tippler, the wagons passed to British Steel when the steel industry was Nationalised in 1967, later gaining British Steel Corporation numbers and markings. The tipplers remained in use as late as 1981, when steel making at Corby ceased.

Bachmann 16T Steel Slope‑Sided Mineral Wagon ‘Stewart & Lloyds’ (with load) is a model from the 2019 range, finished in a pristine condition. It carries the running number 9400, measures 83 mm in length and includes a realistic load. The wagon is classified as a mineral wagon and is supplied with the manufacturer part number 37‑402. It is presented as belonging to the period represented by the Big Four railway companies – LNER, LMS, GWR and SR – and is marked as owned by Stewarts & Lloyds Limited.

The design is based on the steel‑bodied, slope‑sided mineral wagons first developed in the 1930s, with Charles Roberts pioneering the shape. The tippler version was ordered by Stewarts & Lloyds Ltd, the steel maker at Corby, and 700 door‑less units were built between 1939 and 1940. The wagons were unloaded using a rotary tippler.

After the steel industry was nationalised on 1 January 1967 the wagons passed to British Steel, receiving British Steel Corporation numbers and markings. They remained in operational use until 1981, when steel making at Corby ceased.
