377-001C WSL Graham Farish BR YGH Sea-Lion Bogie Hopper Wagon

377-001C Graham Farish YGH Sea-Lion Bogie Hopper Wagon number DB982684 in BR Engineers Grey & Yellow livery.

Built by British Rail, these Bogie Ballast Hoppers were some of the largest wagons in the engineer’s fleet. Like most engineer’s 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 grey and yellow colour scheme so synonymous with the BR Engineers fleet from the 1980s onwards, this wagon is a must for any period collection.
