Goods Wagons

Unfortunately I do not have good quality pics of all the wagons I have photographed.  I will post pics that are less than perfect, but replace them as soon as I have something better....
 

	A-1 Hopper wagon.  Photographed at Estcourt, June 2001. At present there are no known models available, but for the scratch builder, this should be a reasonably easy model.
	AJ-3 Hopper wagon. Photographed at Estcourt, June 2001. As above, no commercial kit/RTR models available, but fairly simple shape to reproduce.
	AJ-4 Hopper wagon with canvas. Photographed at Phalaborwa, August 2001. As above, but the canvas is a nice little touch for interest sake.
	AJ-4 Hopper wagon. Photographed at Estcourt, June 2001. Very similar to AJ-3, the main difference being in the equipment on the ends.
	AZLJ-6 Hopper. Photographed at Klerksdorp, Dec. 2002.
	BAJ-1 General Goods gondola. Photographed at Phalaborwa, October 2002. This is a fairly common wagon on the rails today, used to cart around just about anything.  Around Phalaborwa, they can often be seen with the gaps between the doors sealed, and the wagon loaded with yellow sulpher beads.
	CALJ-2 General Goods gondola. Photographed at Phalaborwa, October 2002. This is also fairly common wagon, used, similarly to the BAJ and DZ range, to cart around just about anything.
	CR-9 Hopper wagon.  Photographed at Phalaborwa, August 2001. Apparently Frateschi makes a model that is very close to the CR-9.  Otherwise it should not be too difficult to build.
	CRM Hopper wagon with canvas. Photographed at Phalaborwa, August 2001. Same as above.
	CRM-11 Hopper covered with canvas. Photographed at Phalaborwa, August 2001. The difference between the CR-9 and CRM-11 seems to be the little extra height that the CD-9 has.  Or is that just a support beam on the side?
	CSMJ-2 Bulk Goods gondola. Photographed at Phalaborwa, October 2002. This is also one of those wagons which get used for just about anything that needs to be moved.
	DGLJ-1 Gondola. Photographed at Sentra Rand, August 2001. No models available.  But the side details leaves this model in the realm if injection molded plastic or brass etching...
	DJ-2 Gondola. Photographed at Estcourt, June 2001. Same applies as above.
	DZ Gondola.  Photographed at Phalaborwa, August 2001. I believe there is a plastic kit available of this gondola.  Haven't bought one yet, but not for long.
	FGL-3 Covered grain hoppers.  Photographed at Estcourt, June 2001. This wagon has a very simple shape, but it has some relief pattern on the side, which would make this a little more difficult to model.
	FKJ-3 Covered Hopper. Used amongs other thing, to carry Lime and other similar chemicals. Photographed at Klerksdorp, Dec. 2002.
	FP-2 Bulk Goods wagon. Photographed at Phalaborwa, October 2002. Any freight that needs to stay dry is loaded in these. Getting a bit long in the teeth, they are not that common anymore.
	FSLJ-2 General Goods gondola. Photographed at Phalaborwa, October 2002. This is a fairly modern (in Spoornet terms anyway) goods wagon.
	FZJ-7 Covered grain hopper. Photographed at Estcourt, June 2001. No models available, and the intricate side and end details will take this wagon out of reach of most scratch builders...
	FZL-1 Covered grain hopper. Photographed at Estcourt, June 2001. Same as above applies here. Recently CMD models have produced an injection molded model of this wagon. It is available in both 12mm and 16.5mm variety, and you can choose either R-T-R or kit form.  More info at the CMD models web site.
	NPS-2 rail car. Ever wonder how they got the long lengths of welded rail to where it has to lie? These car run as sets of 10 or 12 carrying lengths of rail. When the rail needs to be unloaded, the train's brake is applied, the loco uncoupled, and lengths of rail pulled off the wagons with the loco! Photographed at Klerksdorp, Dec. 2002.
	O-3 General goods. The wagon is split up into 4 seperate compartments, each with its own doors. Photographed at Phalaborwa, Dec. 2002.
	PNN-1 flat car. It is not clear to me what this car is used for, so any information will be appreciated. Photographed at Pyramid North, Dec. 2002.
	QCJ-1 Ammonium Nitrate. Photographed at Klerksdorp, Dec. 2002.
	QZJ-3 Explosives wagon. This type of wagon is used to transport any sort of explosive and ammonition. They were used to get a lot of the South African Army's weapons to the old South West Africa and the northern parts of South Africa for the 'Bush War'. Photographed at Klerksdorp, Dec. 2002.
	SHLJ flat car with 2 containers.  Photographed at Harrysmith, June 2001. All the flat cars here should be fairly simple to model.  I believe that there is also a kit of this available.  An interesting detail to model, is the yellow locking plates added to the ends of these wagons (not visible in this pic) to stop train robbers from opening crates on slow moving trains, and stealing the contents...  Only in Africa!
	SMLJ flat car in brown scheme with container. Photographed at Harrysmith, June 2001. This is also a simple model to build.  As far as I know, they are not equipped with the locking plates as above.
	SMLJ flat car in white variety.  Photographed at Harrysmith, June 2001. Same as above, only painted white with black lettering.  Anybody still got some Lettraset???
	XBJ-2 Cement tank. This type of car is also known as the 'Pepper Pot' cars for obvious reasons. Photographed at Pyramid North, Dec. 2002.
	XBJ-8 Lime tank. Very similar to the XBJ-2. Photographed at Klerksdorp, Dec. 2002.
	XFLJ-4 Phosphoric Acid tanker.  Photographed at Phalaborwa, August 2001. No known models of this.  It is a fairly intricate model, but should be achievable for the better skilled scratch builder.  Interesting detail to add is the acid draining system (the horizontal channel behind the ladder, attached to acid proof rubber hoses, dumps spilled acid on the track!)
	XFLJ-5 Phosphoric Acid tanker. Photographed at Phalaborwa, August 2001. No known models, but for the willing scratch builder, an Athearn may make a suitable donor to create one of these.  It is normal corrugated iron sheet curled over the top of the wagon. This is done to protect the tank from spilled acid.  Corrugated iron sheets are much cheaper to replace....
	XFLJ-6 Phosphoric Acid tanker. Photographed at Phalaborwa, August 2001.  Again, no known models, but I think the Lima bogie tankers might work here.  Again, the channeled acid spill drainage system used here.
	XFLJ-9 Phosphoric Acid Tanker. Photographed at Phalaborwa, October 2002. This is also one of the newer versions of Spoornet stock.
	XMJ-12 Acid tanker. Photographed at Phalaborwa, August 2001. Again no known models, but same as above can be used.  Notice the V -shaped acid spill collector channel used here.
	XP-10 Petrol tanker. Photographed at Phalaborwa, August 2001. No models available, but those European Lima again looks like a reasonable donor for spares, or an Athearn single dome tank
	XPJ-15 Petrol tanker. Photographed at Phalaborwa, August 2001. Lima makes a fair model of these wagons.  A good buy, if you can get some of them for sale....
	XPJ-16 Petrol tanker. Photographed at Phalaborwa, August 2001. And yet again, no models available.  but as with the XP-10, I think an Athearn SD tanker may work well...
	XQLJ-1 Syrup tank. Photographed at Klerksdorp, Dec. 2002.
	XSJ-12 Phosphoric Acid Tank. Interesting to notice here, is the stenciled 'EKSPERIMENTEEL' or experimental. Photographed at Klerksdorp, Dec. 2002.
	XVJ-7 Petroleum gas. Photographed at Klerksdorp, Dec. 2002.
