China Clay Article.

Maybe I can jog someone's memory.

In the Constructor in the early 1980s, there was a series of articles on the construction of the "Bodmin" S4 layout which ran for a year or three. In the early articles, there was discussion about the goods traffic in the station. Reference was made to the china clay traffic, and that there would be a separate article on that traffic to follow.

Well, I searched through all the remaining copies of the Constructor and couldn't find the article. Did it ever appear, and in what magazine? I have a faint memory of seeing such an article, but I've no idea where.

Jim.

It wasn't in Model Railway Journal was it, a lot of the S4/P4 migrated to that magazine regardless of the demise of MRC ?

Reference was made to the china clay

Index of MRJ on line here,

Iain Rice has certainly written about China Clay so it could be in the Rail Model Digest or one of his books. Keith

Related point, does anyone know if the end-door clay wagons were used for inland flows. I always thought they were just used for feeding the local ports but someone has suggested otherwise.
