Model details

Prototype information

Accurascale's Coil A Wagon Pack B is a three-wagon model set designed for OO gauge model railway layouts. The pack includes three steel coil wagons, each with a unique running number: B949148, B949173, and B949176. The wagons are finished in bauxite livery and feature NEM couplers.

The wagons are based on the British Railways Coil A Steel Coil wagon design, specifically Diagram 1/412, Lot 3450. They were built in the early 1960s and remained in service until 1992. These wagons were used in block rakes, often paired with other steel wagons and goods vehicles such as JGVs and JMVs.

Key features of the model wagons include oleo buffers, roller-bearing axle boxes, and a nylon hood supported by three movable bars. The wagons were designed for carrying steel coils and were used extensively on British Railways lines. The model wagons also feature NEM standard coupler pockets and narrow tension lock couplers.

The Accurascale Coil A Wagon Pack B is designed to be highly detailed and authentic, with extra fine factory-fitted parts and sprung buffers. The model wagons are also suitable for conversion to P4 and EM gauges.
