Resin cast coal loads

I have just acquired half a dozen resin castings of coal loads, measuring 150mm x 93mm in a job lot of bits and pieces on eBay. They're rather nice looking castings. Just wondered if anyone knows what wagons they might fit into - Thomas Tank opens, maybe? If anyone has a ruler handy would be nice to know as I intend putting them back on eBay (unless anyone here wants to make an offer) and it would be nice to let people know what they will fit into.

If they fit into these LGB hopper wagons then I would be interested?

Unfortunately, I don't have one to hand for measuring atm, as I'm at work....

Sadly, they won't fit the LGB hoppers - those need a load approx. 185mm x 95mm. Although the width is close enough, I think they'd even be too short, at 150mm, for the LGB shorty "toytrain" type open wagons, though I don't have any of them anymore to measure. They are certainly too long for the Feldbahn wagons, so I suspect they were made to fit in something non-LGB - Accucraft British profile 16mm wagons, maybe?

Thanks Jon?

Could someone measure a shorty Toytrain wagon for me please, as I have several of these that could also do with a load.

I have 3 of these trucks of different colours that I use exclusively on 'Hardyard'....

The Toytrain gondola has internal measurements of 180mm x 96mm . . . so the ones referred to above are for an even shorter wagon!
 
Feldbahn hoppers have a cast load, but I think they actually have LGB stamped on them. Just off to check.
