Manufacturer description

Bardon Aggregates livery - White and Blue - (late 1990s till mid 2010s)

PHA/JGA Hopper Wagon Triple Pack

Produced by Cavalex Models

Built by W H Davis Limited of Shirebrook in 1990 for Bardon Hill Quarries (later renamed Bardon Aggregates), design code JG010B and numbered BHQ17130-17151. This was the third batch of wagons built by W H Davis for Bardon Hill Quarries and totalled 22 wagons.

A slightly different design to the first two batches with some visual differences being the revised hopper operating gear with prominent door actuators; the solebar and cast Y25 bogies.

In 1997 Bardon Hill Quarries merged with Camas Aggregates which saw the company renamed Aggregate Industries. The wagons were gradually repainted in a new livery, which featured the Aggregate Industries logo in blue alongside the green Bardon name.

These wagons can still be seen in service today working aggregates flows.

Catalogue listing

Cavalex Models has produced a model of the PHA/JGA Hopper Wagon, specifically in the Bardon Aggregates white and blue livery. This livery was used by the company from the late 1990s until the mid 2010s.

The model is part of a triple pack produced by Cavalex Models. The real-life wagons were built by W H Davis Limited in 1990 for Bardon Hill Quarries, later renamed Bardon Aggregates, as part of a batch of 22 wagons with design code JG010B and numbers BHQ17130-17151.

The PHA/JGA Hopper Wagon design used in this batch differed slightly from the first two batches, featuring revised hopper operating gear with prominent door actuators and solebar and cast Y25 bogies.

In 1997, Bardon Hill Quarries merged with Camas Aggregates to form Aggregate Industries, and the wagons were gradually repainted in the new livery featuring the Aggregate Industries logo in blue alongside the green Bardon name.

The model is a representation of the wagon's appearance during the initial privatisation period, and it can still be seen in service today, hauling aggregates for various companies.
