Lincoln's, Rotherham's and Doncaster's. These wagons were purchased second hand and their names refer to their place of construction. These wagons had may different uses; some were converted to tip stone at Byermoor by adding a 45° steel plate inside and two doors on the side of the body. Some had additional side planks to increase carrying capacity, others were flat bottomed 10 ton wagons. But little is known about these wagons.
