BSA coil wagons

[bazjones1711]

Merry Xmas to you all, our Avesta Sheffield project has been on hold for a while now, but hopefully be resurrected soon and rebuilt to a more manageable size, so to keep to the prototype will make approx 5/6 BSA (Ex BAA ) coil wagons . See pic /link below

I have a list of the 24 wagons that were converted but only a few pics , as they were all Loadhaul livery (Orange) and some with what i assume is executive grey ends , so i am trying to make  a list of each individual wagon and its livery .

The BSAs also operated between Sheffield and Seaforth (Liverpool) carrying stainless steel slab for export. They were later augmented by the BVA flat wagons and associated "kassette" intermodal units, which were purpose-built for the traffic (see http://www.kockumsindustrier.se/en-us/our-products/productdetail/?categoryid=1&productid=10).There was an article in Rail Express a number of years ago which covered the entire operation in some detail. I can get hold of the reference, but not for a couple of days.

<Edit>Looking at the linked photo, these are different BSAs. The ones at Liverpool were based on BBAs and were more like bogie bolster wagons. This is why Paul Bartlett and others counsel against relying on TOPS codes to identify wagons</edit>
