Model details

Prototype information

The Accurascale BR 21T Coal 21VB / MDV Mineral Wagon Triple Pack is a model railway accessory featuring three OO gauge mineral wagons in bauxite TOPS livery. Each wagon is individually numbered and has a NEM coupling. The wagons are finished in a pristine condition and are based on the British Rail 21 ton coal wagons built in the 1950s and introduced in 1961.

A total of 3,950 wagons of this pattern were built, and they remained in service until 1992. These wagons were used in block rakes and mixed with other coal wagons, including 16t minerals, 21t hoppers, and 24.5t minerals.

The model features common characteristics, including NEM standard coupler pockets, narrow tension lock couplers, and metal 3-hole disc wagon wheels on metal axles. The wagons are designed for easy conversion to P4 and EM gauges and have extra fine factory-fitted detail plastic parts and sprung buffers.
