All of the triple packs and single wagons will have different running numbers and prototypical decoration - which is to be confirmed

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 Bardon Hill Quarries (Green and Yellow) PHA/JGA Hopper Wagon (Triple Pack A) is a model railway kit representing a British Rail sectorisation era wagon. The kit carries the manufacturer part number CM JG010B (BHQ) TP (A) and depicts the green and yellow livery used by Bardon Hill Quarries from 1990 to the early 2000s.

The triple pack includes three wagons with the running numbers 17138, 17146 and 17135. All wagons in the pack are modelled with distinct prototypical markings, which are to be confirmed at the time of assembly.

The prototype wagons were built by W H Davis Limited of Shirebrook in 1990 for Bardon Hill Quarries (later renamed Bardon Aggregates). They were assigned design code JG010B and numbered BHQ 17130‑17151, forming the third batch of 22 wagons constructed for the quarry. The design features a revised hopper operating gear with prominent door actuators, a solebar and cast Y25 bogies, differing from the earlier batches.

In 1997 Bardon Hill Quarries merged with Camas Aggregates, becoming part of Aggregate Industries, and the wagons were progressively repainted in a new livery bearing the Aggregate Industries blue logo alongside the green Bardon name. The wagons continue to operate in service, transporting aggregates.
