Rule one of posting research information is...... CHECK BEFORE 
POSTING!!!!   ;-)

The OHGs listed in the 1963 "Carry Capacity of Goods Wagons" are *not* 
the same vehicle as the Trainorama model.  The OHGs in the 1963 list are 
the last of the LHGs that hadn't been converted to auto couplings, (a 
number retained hooks and screw couplings to facilitate their use on 
stock trains, as up until the introduction of the (1959)BCWs and BSVs 
most stock wagons were fitted with hooks and screw couplings)

The Trainorama OHGs were introduced in 1965 and had all been converted 
to GHG by 1969.

In the interests of accuracy I have made a small addition to the list.....

pointing out my mistake..... ;-)  I'm looking forward to returning the 
favour John...... lol
