Between 1984 and 1989 Foster Yeoman hired 36 bogie hopper wagons for aggregates. It was an ill-fated and expensive attempt to get maximum payload by using Aluminium but the wagons proved unsuitable and the bodies were scrapped c1989. Originally they had conventional drawgear but this was altered to some with automatic couplers at one end, and others had them at both.
