VDA to ZCA ‘Sea Urchin' conversion
There are several ways to model the 1992 ZCA ‘Sea Urchin’ air braked ballast and spoil carriers built on redundant VDA air braked van underframes. The wagons can be built on the underframes of Bachmann VDA and OTA models as conversions or from a kit by S Kits. A Bachmann VDA van and OTA were used to build the ZCAs shown in this article using simple styrene techniques and a little scratch building.

Whilst a simple renumbering project was not possible as a result; a minimal reworking project with accurate transfers, nameplates and Trainload Freight livery paints transforms the model.
