The wagon, however, after a number of years in use was found to be too short for the continuation of its intended role, but it was found that if a low sided three door body was added, then this new wagon would to be suitable for transporting ballast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wagon was nicknamed Turbot and was TOPS classified as YCV bogie ballast wagon. Over 1,000 Turbot wagons were rebuilt by BR Shildon and RFS Engineering at Doncaster between 1982 and 1988 and continued into service until 2002. Turbot wagons have also been modified for use by London Underground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese model Turbot bogie ballast wagons are highly detailed and will be a great addition to your rolling stock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL SPEC:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiecast chassis\u003cbr\u003eSprung buffers\u003cbr\u003ePin-point axles\u003cbr\u003eMinimum 2nd radius\u003cbr\u003eUK standard Hook and bar couplers\u003cbr\u003ePlastic body and underframe detail\u003cbr\u003eNEM couplings (removable if required)\u003cbr\u003eProfiled \u0026amp; blacked wheels to OO gauge society standard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY SPEC:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed bogies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoor ‘balance’ spring and arm detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior floor, door and stanchion details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate handrails, end steps and lamp brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly details underframe with correct profiled bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinely moulded and etched stainless steel detail where applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully detailed body with separately moulded side doors and stanchions (to allow ease of kit bashing!)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLENGTH OVER BUFFER 129mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWIDTH 53mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEIGHT 44mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dapol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58467964289408,"sku":"DAP-7F-043-003-PO","price":49.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/7f-043-003.IMG_2253.jpg?v=1784188058","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/dapol-7f-043-003-po-pre-owned-7f-043-003-turbot-bogie-ballast-wagon-ews-maroon-db978309","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
