Title: PAA Sand Hopper Conversion now available from Shapeways
Post by: koyli55002 on March 26, 2019, 06:06:05 AM
Hello all
May like to know that there is now a kit available to convert the Farish PGA open hopper wagon to the PAA Covered Hopper as used by British Industrial Sand (Later WBB Minerals).
The kit has been available in OO for some time now but has now been scaled down to the proper size !
