Model details

Prototype information

Accurascale BR 24.5‑ton HOP24/HUO coal hopper wagon is supplied in a three‑wagon pack for OO gauge. The wagons are finished in a pristine British Rail grey TOPS livery and carry the individual running numbers B335045, B335549 and B335906.

Each wagon is fitted with NEM standard coupler pockets and includes narrow tension‑lock couplers. The RP25.110 darkened profile provides 14.4 mm back‑to‑backs and 26 mm over pinpoints. The wheel arrangement is a 4‑wheel layout with metal three‑hole disc wheels on metal axles (12.6 mm), and the minimum curve radius is listed as Radius 1.

The model represents British Railways hopper wagons (type HUO) built between 1954 and 1963, with the manufacturer part number ACC1015‑HUO‑I. It depicts the British Rail Blue (TOPS) period and is designed for easy conversion to P4 and EM gauges. Extra fine, factory‑fitted plastic detail parts and sprung buffers add realism, and each wagon bears authentic lettering and codes from the real vehicles.

Only 250 packs of this limited edition were produced, making it a scarce addition to any OO gauge collection.
