33207 “Earl Mountbatten of Burma” is seen at the Foster Yeoman loading pad on the Isle Of Grain on 28th June 1994. The continental wagons (JRA’s) on 6T40 19:06 Grain to Hoo Junction were built for general aggregate use by Arbel-Fauvet, France in 1988 and have seen use on many stone flows over the years including a spell working out of Caffiers quarry near Calais for E.C.R with Class 66’s. Some are now modified with higher sides for scrap traffic. As for the slimline Hastings gauge 33, it’s still going and now works for West Coast based at Carnforth, nearly 60 years after builg built by B.R.C.W at Smethwick, Birmingham.
