The 30 ton GWR 'Macaw B' bogie bolster wagon was originally tooled in China, in 1980, for the Mainline Railways system produced by Palitoy. Kader owned the tooling and retained it following the demise of Palitoy. It was than used for their own Bachmann Branchline range and first released in 1996. Since then, 16 versions of it have passed through retailers. The current one is in BR grey livery as a 'Bogie Bolster C' and numbered 'B940050'.
