PHA/JGA Hopper Wagon Triple Pack

Produced by Cavalex Models

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 has released a new product, the Bardon Hill Quarries (Green and Yellow) PHA/JGA Hopper Wagon Triple Pack. This model represents the British Rail Sectorisation period and features a specific livery used by Bardon Hill Quarries from 1990 until the early 2000s.

The PHA/JGA Hopper Wagon was built by W H Davis Limited in Shirebrook in 1990 for Bardon Hill Quarries, with 22 wagons in the third batch, numbered BHQ17130-17151, design code JG010B. This batch had a slightly different design compared to the first two, with revised hopper operating gear and prominent door actuators, as well as solebar and cast Y25 bogies.

The model features a green and yellow livery, which was used by Bardon Hill Quarries before it merged with Camas Aggregates in 1997 and became Aggregate Industries. The wagons were gradually repainted in a new livery featuring the Aggregate Industries logo in blue alongside the green Bardon name. It is worth noting that some of these wagons are still in service today, working aggregates flows.
