Catfish hoppers are similar to the Dogfish, the main differences being a lower hopper and lack of side chutes.
PROTOTYPE : These wagons have a hopper fitted with one central discharge door and were basically a welded version of the earlier "Mackerel". Catfish were originally allocated to the LMR, but from the late 60s spread onto the Scottish Region & ER. Some were loaned to the SR in the 1970s. Catfish were worked with most other types of ballast hoppers.
3 link or Hornby couplings can be fitted. Requires 12mm disc wheels, bearings and transfers required.
Wheels are available from our website
