JGA (BLI / VTG) bogie cement wagon dimensions?

[D9502]

I am considering scratch building some of the JGA bogie cement wagons, the early ones are branded Tarmac, the recent ones branded Ermewa.

 

The Tarmac ones were built in 2003 and numbered in the VTG 117** series whilst the recent 2016 build is in the international number range 81.70.7829.***** series.

 

I'm principally after the length as I can work the rest out proportionally.

Do you ever make these?

The original BLI ones are 90 tonne gross and the newer Ermewa ones are 100 tonne gross with additional pipes on the ends otherwise I have not seen any differences!

 

There was a drawing published by DEMU and will be available in their back numbers of update!

Being continental registered, the newer wagons should have the overall length on the side somewhere. Both these and the originals should have the inside wheelbase on them too

Hello 'Wagonbasher'

 

I can't believe this thread has been resurrected. 

 

>>Do you ever make these?

 

I started on the CAD after Paul kindly set me a drawing and got as far as the ends and some of the internals you can see from the end elevation.

 

After a while I got distracted with other wagon projects too numerous to mention here but earlier this year I did revisit the CAD model as it needs the supports (yellow) and the solebar above the ribs finishing off.
