Catalogue listing

Model details

Accurascale BR 24.5‑ton HOP24/HUO coal hopper wagon set, modelled to 1:76.2 scale. The pack contains three individual wagons, each finished in pristine grey livery and bearing the original British Rail running numbers B334949, B335039 and B335703. All wagons are of the HUO type, designed for use by British Rail and fitted with NEM standard coupler pockets and narrow tension‑lock couplers.

Each wagon carries RP25.110 darkened profile sets with 14.4 mm back‑to‑back spacing and 26 mm over pinpoints, metal three‑hole disc wheels on metal axles (12.6 mm), and extra‑fine factory‑fitted plastic detail parts including sprung buffers. The models are built for easy conversion to P4 and EM gauges and feature individually applied lettering and codes matching the real‑world wagons.

The release is a very limited run of only 250 packs, making it a collector’s item for those modelling British Rail’s pre‑TOPS era.
