Ladle Trucks

Main Page

Ladle trucks (also known as slag wagons) are rolling stock used for transporting slag and molten steel. Each has a tipping bucket, which allows its contents to be poured out.

Technical Details

Basis

The ladle trucks are based on real slag wagons, though whether they are based on any particular prototype is currently unknown.

Liveries

The ladle trucks are a rusty brown with red wheels. Their bufferbeams are painted with yellow and black hazard stripes.

In the Golden Books, these trucks are dark grey with numbers painted on their bufferbeams and chassis sides in white. In various merchandise ranges, they are depicted as being painted dark blue.

Appearances

Trivia

The maximum number of ladle trucks seen at the same time at the Steelworks in Journey Beyond Sodor is nine.
In the television series, they are depicted with four wheels, though the Golden Books and some Wooden Railway illustrations depict them with bogies.
