In 2002, Hornby remodeled their merry-go-round hopper wagon and, at the same time, produced a version with a hood to reduce dust loss. There were faults with the new models and so the following year a revised version of each model was produced. That of the hooded version carried the TOPS code HBA, with a tare weight of 650kg, until this year when the code was changed to HFA with a tare weight of 400kg. Three versions of the model have been released in this form, each with a different number and each available as a solo model. The numbers are: '358761' (R6333A), '356707' (R6333B) and '356962' (R6333C).
