377-101D Graham Farish JGA Bogie Hopper 'Buxton Lime Industries'

New release - pre-orders invited - expected Jul/Aug 2025. preauthkernow

The JGA Bogie Hoppers were built in Slovakia in the mid-1990s for Buxton Lime Industries and Tilcon, primarily working from Tunstead Quarry, operated by Buxton Lime Industries, near Buxton on the edge of the Peak District. Consisting of a large hopper with three pairs of bottom discharge doors, the wagons were used to transport lime products from the quarry for distribution around the UK.

Reproduced in N Scale by Graham Farish, the JGA model features a precision moulded bodyshell which captures the wagon’s distinctive sloping ends with their ribbed constructed. Below the solebar, the three sets of discharge doors are added separately, meanwhile a metal weight is concealed above each bogie to ensure smooth running. The bogies themselves are fitted with metal wheels and axles whilst the integrated NEM coupling pockets allow alternative couplings to be fitted with ease. The eye catching white and blue livery faithfully adorns the model, complete with the various markings and operating instructions that are found on the real wagons.
