Picked-up a Dapol/Simply Southern 5 plank wagon over the weekend at the Uckfield Model Railway Exhibition; it has 'SOLD BLUEBELL RAILWAY' and 'DO NOT CUT' emblazoned on the side - I've managed to find the wagon in question but no pictures in this guise, if anyone can assist please?  Actually, I can't even find reference to the Dapol version online!  It's a limited run of 157.

There are some views of 'Port of Bristol Authority' internal users on here:- http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/avonmouthdock , though none match the details of the model you mention. Even into the mid-1970s, when I used to pass their sidings on my way to work, they had a very large fleet; I have heard the figure of 400 or so quoted.

I guess it's fairly new as it's now available online.

I wish Simply Southern had their own section on RM web for their commissions, some are fictitious but a lot of them are genuine liveries =) they are always open to suggestions and ideas too =)

The Dapol 5-plank wagon body is odd; my main gripe is the side stanchions either side of the doors. I'm not aware of a type with T section as per the model. I understand the mould design dates back to Dublo SD.
