WALRUS 40ton Ballast Hopper
These were built in 1952 with plate bogies and slightly shorter end platforms than the later Sealion/Seacows.
The overall length was thus less than the Sealions and Seacows (by 16" / 5.3mm). Apart from the bogies, they were virtually identical to the third batch of Southern Railway hoppers. (see kit C67)
The last three of these were withdrawn in the early 1990s. Two others (DB992481/491) were sold to Balfour Beatty and were still in use in 1997. The Balfour Beatty wagons were fitted with air brakes and full width platform canopies. Livery was blue underframe and everything above the solebar was white.
