"Side-tipping wagon, converted pre-1954 from a 3-ton slate wagon." The second photo is in fact of the opposite side to the first one. Its original number was previously thought to be 848, now thought to be 846 (as a slate wagon). It was renumbered 17 in the 1950s and in the 1967 general renumbering it became 160, and until 2017 the two different numbers (160 and 848) appeared one on each side.
As of April 2017 at Beamish on short-term loan in exchange for grit blasting and repainting along with 830.[1] Returned 2020, 2021 renumbered 846. Apparently the number 848 was a mistake. One axlebox requires replacement.
