Dear Al,
These sound like Bachmann UK products; you'll have to contact them to find out.
Have fun!

 Hi Allan

There are cars made for BHP Billiton, they come in single packs and are made by Bachmann.
I don't know the Product number but the are "Silver Series " 26 ft 100 ton ore cars. You should be able to purchase these from your local Australian hobby shop, the may need to order them in for you.
there are also other ore hoppers / gondolas you can use, I purchased some undecorated Athern 26 ft low side ore cars that will pass for these.
Bachmann have Ore cars product numbers 18601, 18606, 18614, 18629, 18642 and 18644.
18644 wood be the better choice if you cannot get the correct one these come in mineral red which would be similar in color to BHP, you will need to remove the lettering.
Try you local hobby shop first they may be able to get the correct BHP cars for you. I have a dozen of the correct cars on order.
