LPG and bogie stock.

[petercharlesfagg]

Friends,

If you were to have a factory complex on your layout that was being supplied with LPG or gas of any sort, what type of stock would deliver such items?

I was thinking along the lines of an RTR bogied tanker or similar?

I think that's one of the industries Pete Latham had on Imperial Yard:

The most common bogie stock were from British Oxygen, white with a red stripe along the tank centre line but at a 100 tonne, probably to big for most sites. Before the 100 tonne stock they must have used normal 4-wheel probably on a 15ft wheel base.

LPG is only transported by road here in NSW as far as I know.

There is a BOC installation only three minutes from Chez Bealman, and even though it is next to a steelworks and has a railway line right across the road from it, that line simply connects the steelworks with the colliery on the escarpment.

The only access to the BOC plant is by road, though there are probably pipeline connections to the steelworks.

The UK situation could be different, however.
