Looking closely at it I noticed that there is a swing-up frame piece to support a tarpaulin cover and no brakeman's platform and I vaguely remember seeing one of these somewhere before. However, an internet search turns nothing up, so does anyone know if LGB ever made a wagon to take a tarpaulin?

This is a Lehmann Toy train wagon, as modified by Garden Railway Specialists in one of their erstwhile Combo-Kits. It consists of the body of a ToyTrain gondola on the "short halves" of two Toytrain chassis that creates symetrical axleboxes (and no brake platform),. The two "long halves" of the chassis are then put below a GRS box van kit, again with symmetrical axleboxes. The chassis have to be cut in a particular way to achieve this. I might have a photo somewhere.

This version was supplied with a Tarpaulin rail and fixings, as seen in your photo. A second version of the Combo Kit used the other ToyTrain gondola (with lower sides and no raised ends) and a GRS cattle wagon kit.

EDIT; Found a photo, not of the way to cut the chassis, but of the result. Top one is the two "long halves", middle one is "as supplied" (with assymetic axleboxes) and the bottom one is the two "short halves" . . .
