Model details

Prototype information

Accurascale has produced a set of three OO gauge MGR HMA coal hopper wagons, featuring a livery of Railfreight Sector triple grey. The wagons are built to a high standard, with a minimum radius curve requirement of 438mm. Each wagon has a NEM coupling and tension lock, and is built to a scale of 1:76.2.

The wagons are highly detailed, with features including rivets, framing, strapping, and accurately profiled door 'horns'. They also feature RP25-110 profile OO gauge wheels, separate brake blocks, and sprung metal buffers. The models are made from die-cast chassis for added weight, and include a range of super fine plastic parts, including air pipes, lamp irons, and etched metal details.

The set is designed to represent wagons built by BR Darlington Works, BR Shildon Works, and BR Ashford Works between 1964 and 1982. The models are intended to be representative of the initial privatisation era, and are available in three different body styles: as built, rebodied, and CDA.
