Model details

Prototype information

The Accurascale BR 21T Coal 21 / MDO Mineral Wagon Triple Pack is a model of three mineral wagons in OO gauge. The wagons are finished in a pristine condition and feature a grey TOPS livery with individual running numbers B201048, B201332, and B201385. Each wagon is equipped with NEM couplers and features a 4-wheel wheel arrangement.

The wagons are based on the British Railways 21 Ton Coal 21 / MDO design, which was introduced in the 1950s and remained in service until 1988. A total of 1,500 wagons were built to this pattern, featuring two doors on either side of the body and a single door at one end for end-tipping. The wagons were used in block rakes and were often mixed with other coal wagons.

The model features a range of details, including oil axle-boxes, spindle buffers, and extra fine factory-fitted detail plastic parts. The wheels are metal with a 3-hole disc design and are fitted to metal axles. The model is designed for easy conversion to P4 and EM gauges. The set includes narrow tension lock couplers and RP25.88 darkened profile sets.
