Waterslide transfers are mentioned in the advert. Time will tell. Maybe it's completely new art work?
Showing my age but when I bought my first slaters hopper they were supplied with rub on transfers.
... and the you can do some distressing and adding the 360 odd coach bolt heads to the inside.
Slaters20tHopper-07-EditSm.jpgSlaters20tHopper-08-EditSm.jpgIf modelling the BR period most were withdrawn by approx 1960 but the Wooden 13 tonners lasted a good few years more. The NCB and ICI Billingham bought shed loads of the withdrawn 20 tonners from BR. Some of the ICI examples were painted up in ICI livery. My hazy memory tell me all the examples on the NYMR were all ex ICI.

Early price is £37.50 per wagon
I believe one of the flows into Dove Holes quarry at Peak Forest can be 20+ MMAs.
It looks okay, but the printing line isn't clean.

It's just landed with me and I've been able to view everything on my PC.
Inside is one of my favourite projects, a cottage made from a carriage - inspired by our visit to the North Norfolk Railway as seen on the DVD.
very beautiful

Europe is very different, however, many still make their own.
It may be a surprise here, but Brawa and Hornby are still supplied by Sanda Kan.
(Sanda Kan folded in 2012, but there is a new entity founded in 2015).
There are many other entities in China (regalway, refined, SDK, shine dew etc) as well as Piko, Kader, Oxford, Rapido etc), and those outside China such as Fuggerth (Hungary), Roco (Vietnam etc), Vi-Trains (Italy) and many more, even our own Dapol still manufacturers in Wales.
I suspect in the future Chinese manufacturers will become suppliers of parts direct to the market, and model shops will change from rtr specialists, into 3D printing and chassis assembly operations from those parts.. though the 3D tech needs to come along a bit more first, and include fine grain printing in colour.
But wholesaling from China to the UK already happens, look at ebay you can buy 100 painted figures for <£20 or buy 5 from Presier for the same price. There’s one manufacturer making Ho/OO electric lit signals, street lights etc for £2-3 each selling on ebay.
I suspect it will end like Rover.. let the distributors fail, acquire the toolings for pennies and commence direct sale of models and parts to the market. What will struggle is accuracy on rtr and probably few new toolings..but then they won’t need new toolings as commissioners are mopping up the last viable ones right now for them.
Yes, a living manufacturer is very important
