Bachmann Europe Plc unveiled the first samples of the previously announced Graham Farish OCA 31 Tonne drop-sided open wagons and JGA hopper wagons at its Annual Trade Open Days held at its Barwell HQ today.

The OCA wagon is a metal-sided version of the OBA (already available in the Farish range) and is used for the conveyance of materials to and from engineering works sites. To assist with loading and unloading it has three sets of drop doors on each side. Almost 400 wagons of this type were built at the former BREL works in Shildon, Co. Durham between 1981-1982. The model will be available in three different liveries namely Departmental Dutch (377-550), Railfreight red (377-551) and EWS (377-552). These will retail at 10.25 each.

The JGA bogie covered hopper wagon is used for the conveyance of a multitude of commodities including aggregates, limestone, potash, rock salt and stone. The model will be available in three different liveries representing RMC (377-100), Buxton Lime Industries (377-101) and Tarmac (377-102). The model will retail at 17.75.

Both wagon types will be available from Bachmann dealers late this year.
