Z The RCH 1887 Wagon
In 1887 the Railways Clearing House released their first complete specifications for 'private owner' mineral wagons which would be accepted without separate inspections by all British railway companies. Many of these 'RCH 1887' wagons were painted in colourful and memorable liveries as travelling billboards for their owners. RCH specifications were also issued for other types of wagons and were updated frequently, with a full revision for mineral wagons issued in 1907, followed by a comprehensive update after the railways 'grouping' in 1923.I started writing it as I couldn't find information on the RCH wagons in any other place, so have assembled this article from several published sources, these references being listed at the end. Please email us with any issues or other topics which need to be addressed.
