BR ‘Dogfish’ Ballast Hopper WagonsThe SVR is home to three 24 ton steel Ballast Hopper Wagons, type ‘Dogfish’. Built by Chas Roberts of Wakefield, these were the largest ballast hoppers used by BR. They were also the most common, with a total of 1.,249 being built. They were fitted with centre and side doors, allowing ballast to be dropped between the rails or to either side. __TOC__

 ==Preservation==Since arrival, these ballast wagons have been used in Engineers' P-Way trains. The Railway Heritage Register Wagon Survey states that 983115 and 983194 left the SVR for the Gwili Railway in 2013, however the photographs show these the wagons in a ballast train at Bewdley in April 2015.
