Slaters Plastikard O Gauge 7042A LNER Bulk Alumina Covered Hopper Wagon Plastic Model Kit

Detailed plastic kit building one of the LNER bulk alumina covered hopper wagons.
Developed from the NER coal hopper wagons a hood style cover was added, making the design into a covered hopper suitable for conveying alumina, a powdery form of aluminium oxide from which aluminium is extracted. These wagons were used for conveying alumina until replaced with newly built British Railways standard steel bodied covered hopper wagons (and similar privately owned wagons) in the 1950s.
