Prototype information

Accurascale BR 24.5 t HOP24/HUO coal hopper – Grey, pre‑TOPS, Pack A – 1:76.2 (OO gauge)

This product is a three‑wagon set modelled in 1:76.2 scale, representing British Railways late‑crest 24.5‑ton coal hopper wagons (type HUO) built between 1954 and 1963. Each wagon carries its own historic running number (B333635, B335009 and B335539N) and is finished in a pristine grey livery. The wheels are metal 3‑hole disc types on metal axles, and the wagons feature NEM standard coupler pockets with narrow tension‑lock couplers supplied.

The model includes RP25.110 darkened profiles, 14.4 mm back‑to‑backs, 26 mm overpin points, extra fine factory‑fitted plastic detail parts and sprung buffers. Individual lettering and codes are reproduced from the original wagons for authenticity. The set is designed for easy conversion to P4 and EM gauges and was issued in a very limited run of 250 packs.
