BR ZCA Ballast wagon kit - SEAHORSE

BR ZCA Ballast wagon - SEAHORSE (rebuilt OCA) - OO unpainted plastic kit

Require glue, paint, transfers, couplings, wheels (Gibson 12mm & brass bearings) to complete.

Seahorse wagons were converted from OCA wagons during 1989 & early 1990, & totalled 30 wagons.
They were initially used to carry ballast from Meldon Quarry in Devon, to Hoo Junction in Kent.
This was to create a stockpile of ballast to refill half-empty Seacow/lion hoppers. This stockpile was termed a "virtual quarry", rather than the less trendy "heap of ballast". Some neighbours of other "virtual quarries" complained of "virtual dust" appearing on their washing.
