You are in luck. BR built these vehicles as a development of a very similar LMS design. Hornby have some coming in the Engineering Department Black that they carried in the 50's. For sure there will be one of these on my circa 1960 layout, in typical 'rusty and dusty' condition.
It's good to see that now Hornby have made a start on bringing out wagons (of a standard to match their more recent locos and coaches), they have done a suite of well chosen track engineering vehicles which can be combined with many existing types to make a half century or thereabouts of typical formations.
