BR 21 ton coal hopper - rivetted bodies

British Rail wagon photographs by Paul Bartlett

22nd June 2003

British Railways continued to build an LNER design of coal carrying hopper. Many had bodies of welded construction but a good number were rivetted. There were three diagrams allocated to these but there were also many small variations. The photographs show the wagons towards the end of their lives - many were rebodied from the mid 1960s onwards.
