Built by British Rail, these Bogie Ballast Hoppers were some of the largest wagons in the engineers fleet. Like most engineers wagons, these ballast hoppers received aquatic names and were usually known as Seacows or Sealions, depending on their braking arrangement. Used to carry ballast to work sites where it would be discharged via the chutes at the bottom of the hopper, these Graham Farish models capture every intricate detail of the prototype from the hopper doors to the six separately fitted handwheels that controlled their operation. Added at each end are several separate handrails, along with etched platforms whilst underframe steps and other adornments are also included. Finished in the striking black and orange livery of Loadhaul, this wagon will make a fine addition to any post-Privatisation scene.
