Prototype information

Accurascale has released a pack of three OO gauge British Rail 24.5T HOP24/HUO coal hopper wagons in grey livery, representing the pre-TOPS era.

Each wagon in the pack is modelled with a unique running number, with the wagons being B333644, B335016, and B335520. The models feature NEM standard coupler pockets and include narrow tension lock couplers for a more realistic representation.

The wagons are designed with a 4-wheel wheel arrangement and feature metal 3-hole disc wheels on metal axles. The models also include extra fine factory-fitted detail parts and sprung buffers for added realism.

The models are designed to be compatible with both OO and P4 gauges, and the manufacturer has included RP25.110 darkened profile sets with 14.4mm back-to-backs and 26mm over pinpoints for a more accurate representation.

This pack is a representation of the British Railways 24.5-ton HOP24/HUO hopper wagon, built by British Rail between 1954 and 1963. The models are suitable for modellers of the British Railways Late Crest era.
