Catalogue listing

Model details

Accurascale produce a 1:76.2 scale model of the British Railways 24.5‑ton HOP24/HUO coal hopper wagon, offered as a three‑wagon pack (B336817, B336937 and B337128N). The wagons are painted in a pristine grey livery, feature NEM standard coupling pockets with narrow‑tension‑lock couplers, and carry the original British Rail lettering and codes.

Each wagon includes 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), extra‑fine factory‑fitted plastic detail parts, and sprung buffers. The models are designed for easy conversion to P4 and EM gauges.

The pack is a very limited run of only 250 sets, intended for model railways representing the late‑crest period of British Railways, and is suitable for layouts depicting Thorpe Marsh Power Station or similar settings.
