Hi all,
I am working on a MoD freight scenario for WCMLS running from Eastriggs MoD down to Preston with a pickup at Kingsmoor Yd for more MoD wagons from MoD Longtown/Smalmstow. Originally I had it set in the mid 80's but am now resetting it too the mid/late 70's, for more freight and stock variation, but I have some questions I was hoping I could get some help with...
a) What wagons would the MoD of used in the mid/late 70's. I had used a mix of VEA 12t Vans and VDA vans, but I suspect that the VDA's are a latter wagon type and wernt around in the 70's?
b) Would brakevans still be in use on mixed freight trains? Like this one.
c) What was the max permitted speed limit on MoD workings? 60mph?
