as most of you can probably guess from the few topics i have posted i am quite new to all this stuff so all help is much appreciated

anyway now for my next question
i have just bought two class 56's in railfreight livery (red stripe) and was wondering what sort of wagons these locos would actually haul

i have gota couple of the hornby r6263 ferry vans but was wondering what else they would have hauled

Popular one would be the Merry go round coal hoppers produced by hornby (HAA) in various slightly different guises. A bit expensive even for the old ones and of course you'd need a load of them. A possibility could also be a few carriages and run them on a railtour (or even standing in for a failed loco)

I'd go along with spongebob, but also add engineering trains - they were common on these at the time.
