Steel carrying wagons

[Adrian]

I've just received a couple of the Farish steel wagons (thanks Russ!) .......... cracking models.

Doing a bit of reading this morning about the prototype, I've learned that two versions were produced.

BYA numbered 966001 - 966260 were built 1998-99 - internal floor arrangements meant they tended to carry coils

BRA numbered 964001 - 964050 were built 1999 - they originally had fixed rails inside and were used to carry steel lengths

So, here's the thing .................... my two models are labelled BRA and carry the number 964063   

I guess other modern wagon "nuts" have already spotted this and I just haven't looked in the right place to read the comments!

On the other hand, maybe the numbering is correct - if so, I'd be very interested to hear the explanation.

Thanks very much

Adrian

If you look in Martyn Read's site you will see the code and number is correct - there is a BRA numbered 964063.
