This ex-ICI bogie hopper wagon was built by Charles Roberts & Co. of Wakefield in 1938 as wagon no. 3252. It was used to haul limestone traffic from the quarries at Tunstead, near Buxton in the Derbyshire Peak District, to the I.C.I. processing works at Northwich. For this it was given BRBritish Rail or British Railways TOPSTotal Operations Processing System, an American computer system adopted by BR from the late 1960s to number and manage rolling stock. no. 19052 and LMSLondon Midland & Scottish Railway registration no. 151397.[1] It had a capacity of 48 tons[2][3], although the SVRSevern Valley Railway Stock Book and StanierWilliam Stanier, Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway 1932-1944 8FThe British Railways system of classifying steam locomotives by power using a number from 0, least powerful, to 9, most powerful, followed by either F for freight, P for Passenger or MT for Mixed Traffic.
