Model details

Prototype information

Accurascale's OO gauge CDA China Clay wagons in ECC Blue livery are available in a pack of three. These models are built to represent the wagons as they appeared during the British Rail Sectorisation period. The models feature a diecast chassis, brass bearings, and 26mm pinpoint axles for smooth running. The wagons have been designed to accurately depict the detail differences between the CDA and HAA types, including the equipment at the wagon end, bodyside holes, underframe, and hood/canopy.

The models are highly detailed, with features such as rivets, framing, strapping, and accurately profiled door 'horns' on the interior. The wheels are RP25-110 profile and feature separate brake blocks in line with the tread. The models also include sprung metal buffers and dummy instanter couplings. Additional details include air pipes, lamp irons, safety catches, clasp and disc brakes, hopper door operating equipment, and etched metal details such as brake levers and chassis plates.

The CDA wagons can be modelled as built from new or converted from HAA hoppers, giving modellers a choice of options. The models are designed for use on 16.5mm track and have a minimum radius requirement of 438mm. The weight of each model is 40g. The wagons are available in a livery that represents the ECC Blue colour scheme.
