ZBPs were a class of curtain-side "swap body" wagons built on UK container wagons by NZRL from May 1991. A total of 22 were introduced into service.
I've wanted to make a model of one for a while, since Darryl Palmer of Station Road makes curtain sides. December 1999 edition of the NZ Model Railway Journal has the plans in both 1:64 and 1:120 scale.
Using the plans I've created two ends plus 5 bulkheads to make a wagon kit:
Just add UK wagon and curtain sides plus some styrene for the roof and viola! Well kind of. More later once it arrives from Shapeways.
New Zealand Railways Rolling Stock has more details on the wagons themselves.

Awesome, thanks Stephen! BTW what was the TSB wagon exactly? It's mentioned in the NZMR Journal but there's no explanation? The ends look totally different.
ReplyDeleteStrange, it looks like a curtain sider similar to the ZBP but the design is clearly different.
