The set consists of three wagons, each with a unique running number: 353538, 353685, and 354034. The wagons are finished in a pristine blue livery and feature NEM couplings.

The models are designed for use on radius 2 curves and above, with a minimum radius of 438mm. They weigh a minimum of 40g and feature a die-cast chassis for added weight.

The wagons are highly detailed, with features such as rivets, framing, and accurately profiled door 'horns'. They also include RP25-110 profile OO gauge wheels with separate brake blocks and sprung metal buffers.

The models are designed to be easily convertible to EM and P4 gauge track and feature a range of details including air pipes, lamp irons, and etched metal details such as brake levers and chassis plates.

Each wagon has its own unique features and differences, including three body styles, two hopper door styles, and multiple bufferbeam brake pipe configurations.

The Accurascale HMA MGR Hopper Wagon set is designed to represent the initial privatisation period, from 1994 to 2010.
