As the BBW's aged, they went through a number of paint transistions starting off with the standard wagon grey, freight wagon red, then to a yellow with some finishing up in what appears to be a PTC blue. From my research it would appear that this blue started off as a Freight Rail blue colour and with oxidisation quickly adopted the PTC blue hue. You can paint your models with royal blue and add drops of white until you achieve the blue you want. They are best modelled with out buffers as they were coded NHWF's. The decals include the code board , builders plate, wagon plate, opening arrows for the hopper doors as well as the arrow for the hand brake. For modellers of the Freight Corp era these are a must for your departmental fleet. Product code RN02 NHWF Bogie Ballast Wagon $33.00
