RSH Sand Hopper

RSH 26017 at RVR in 2005. Josh Beveridge

23 Steel and timber bodied LCH/CCH coal hoppers were fitted with roofs to carry sand. They have a payload capacity of 8.9m3. They seem to have been fitted with at least 2 types of roof designs. The most common design consists of a sheet metal lid in the shape of a low-pitched pyramid with a single flap loading hatch. The other design looks similar to an RU wheat hopper roof, it slopes both ways with doubled hinged loading hatches.
