Hello Guys, because I'm not from the UK, I'd like to know what's the meaning of all these Wagon Codes (f.e. HHA, IWA, MHA, etc.). Are there any Lists or Websites awaliable where they are explained? I believe HHA are Coal Hoppers because they are on the Trains from Daw Mill... Thanks for Replies... Log in to reply |
