Looking at what reference pictures I could find there were a number of variations to the cradles added to these. I've gone for these two first modeled on some I've seen pictured at Immingham.

I'm also working on making some wooden cradles for other coil wagons such as these small ones to sit in the SPA wagons.

And some larger wooden coil cradles for some of my BAA wagons. These and the ones in the SPA are made from modelers strip wood. They will all have some weathering done in time as they look a bit too fresh as they are now.

Looking great , I'll have to get all my information I have on various wagons that ran through Great Coates junction , here's a bit about SPA wagons 

Wagon label from a SPA wagon these worked from Grimsby to various places including BSC Panteg with semi finished stainless coil , there were forty wagon in the pool  fitted with three wooden cradles.
Pool 4151 assigned to Grimsby - various , imported coil.

You have made a great job of modelling the junction , I've the pools for the BAA and BBA wagons somewhere , will post when I find them , again great location and modelling, that I hope to model myself one day.,

Thanks Barrie. My friend Geoff Hankin has kindly lent me his spotting notes from the 80s/90s . He worked close by at the time and kept a note of what he saw. Also some useful pictures he's shared with me. I think it was one of yours I saw recently (now gone from this site I think) of a BBA with cradles you had made, that too looked very nice. I was thinking about doing some myself but it looks like Cavalex will be producing some RTR...

Last one for this evening, I have a few Cambrian BNA kits. The first of which is still a work in progress as seen here only now fitted with couplings and has been test run.

Have a few of these to make  so look forward to your progress , some of the slabs on these wagons were virtually the length of the wagon ! ,
