    Hi to you All,
    I am looking for information on the whether the "modern" wagons listed below were seen on the GW mainline between Slough and Reading in the following years- 1977,1992, 2007, 2016:-

    It would be helpful if I can find out whether they more usually ran in blocks or singly?

    Wagons
    HOP24/HUO
    Cemflow/PVC
    PCO/PCA Cement
    PFA Container Flat
    PRA Box

    I realise that not all these wagons were in use in all the years stated above.

    I am looking for this information to help decide which of these wagons, and in what quantities to purchase for my 00 gauge layout which may run in the above mentioned years.

    Many thanks
    Best regards
    Paul
