Roco 66673
Ks 5.01 UIC standard flat wagon (ex JQhor)
SNCF number | Revision date |
JQhorv 128 484 | Missing |
68 g empty (NEM: 64 to 83 g)
82 g with the load of tractors.
Registered in era III. According to the Loco-Revue sheet quoted below, its registration corresponds to a JQhor, not JQhorv type i.e. to a wagon without a brake wheel, as it is the case.
According to Ferrovissime Special Issue No. 5, issued in 2016, the wagon No. 128 484 is a JQhorf whose UIC number will be in the sub-series 330 2 000 to 999, built between 1955 and 1957, and equipped with brake gateway! Who to trust?
In any case, the Roco wagon would be better in JQhor, without handbrake, for example from 1961, in the sub-series 145 000 to 499 in SNCF numbering, and 01 87 331 0 000 to 324 Ks 5.01 in UIC numbering.
See Loco-Revue forum.
Wagons put into service from 1954 to 1968. UIC registration 01 (Europ) or 21 (RIV) 87 330 0 000 to 332 4 999. Some are equipped with a screw brake on gangway, others with a brake wheel accessible from the ground.
Main characteristics (with / without gangway): tare 12.8 t / 11.9 t; C load: 21 t / 28 t; usable length 12.5 m; usable width 2.77 m. Folding sides and ends. Manufacturers: Coder, Frangeco, Decauville.
Flat wagons of the UIC type are subdivided into two sub-series of which I don’t know the precise differences of construction:
These many wagons will become surplus in the 1970s, which will lead to many transformations: container transport, various service wagons.
Besides, there is a rather surprising coincidence: the perfect adaptation of the usable dimensions of this wagon to those of 40-foot ISO containers (12.2 × 2.4 m compared to 12.5 × 2.77 m), which will only appear 10 years later!
