Looks like a suitable candidate kit for British Oak type hoppers can be kit bashed from the Knightwing Models mine top buildings (PM113) as detailed in the weathering for railway modellers vol 2 book by George Dent - will need to crack on and order one - another option could be sourced from one of the Walthers coal mine kits - as based down-under so will ned to wait for the COVID interfered with shipment.
The Knightwing Models kit has just arrived - on cursory examination it will probably suffice, once enlarged with some additional Wills panels, to suit an On14 module structure based on Paul's plan suitably antipodeanised - already have one of Mark Clark's Steamnthings Barclay E class locos too shift the coal hoppers, to be based on the Snailbeach ones.

having just acquired a copy of Model Railway Planning & Design Handbook ( Santona Publications - 2004 I was disappointed to note that the promised plan for the Paul Lunn design "British Oak" Loading hoppers to follow page 21 does not appear.
haven't been able to find a contact address for Santona, nor Paul Lunn to follow-up this omission
although these units do not appear to be that complicated, so if no plans exist I could no doubt build them from the drawings on page 21, I wonder if these plans were ever subsequently produced? if so I would appreciate a copy.
