The Hornby PGA hopper was inspired by the Lima model back in 1988. How do we know this? The pre-production models discovered at the factory were all Lima models that had been repainted in the liveries suggested for Hornby's first batches of wagons in 1988. Since then, the wagon has appeared in seven liveries and that of English China Clays (ECC) Quarries makes it eight. The wagon comes in a pack of three, each with a different number. These are 'PR14367', 'PR14368' and 'PR14369'.
