Detail sprue help

I acquired this sprue of detailing parts. It clearly includes 4 buffers and some hoses but......

Does anyone recognise what it originally belonged with? 

Can anyone identify what the other pieces are meant to be used for?

Expert help greatly appreciated.

Yep - it's from a GRAMPUS ballast open wagon; the grid pattern components make up (fiddlily) into the underframe baskets for the (on the prototype) removeable ends.

John Isherwood.

 

PS. The other components are buffer heads and door banger springs.

Wow, I didn't expect a reply that quick!

Thanks John. I guess it must have come from a Parkside kit - I think they were the only Grampus kits.

So- not much use to me. I'll see if anyone on eBay can make use of it, otherwise it goes into the "scrap-heap challenge" odds and ends box.

Regards

Roger
