Thanks Chris,

I hadn't considered that - may well be true. The company's Fettling Ganger (mid 1980s) told me they were ex BBWs, and I just accepted that. After they were removed from behind Medway village, the company started upgrading their Berrima Jct - Cement Works line. One or two of the hoppers were brought back into use, painted yellow, and used for ballasting the new work. Peter Robinson

Southern Portland Cement was formed in 1926 and the major shareholders were Australian Iron & Steel and Howard Smith Ltd. A couple of the wagons are at Port Kembla steelworks, still numbered SPCxx.
