Prototype information

Accurascale ICI Hopper – Twin Pack (1973‑1992) – Model ACC3070. This is a highly detailed OO gauge (1:76.2) replica of the ICI limestone hopper used by British Railways in the late Crest period. The model is supplied as a decorated sample and may differ from the final version.

The model runs on 16.5 mm track and requires a minimum radius of 2. It weighs 44 g and features a detailed interior with rivets, framing, strapping and supports. The chassis and bogies are accurately reproduced, including separate vacuum brake gear, vacuum hoses, hopper‑door controls, handbrake wheels and brake gear. The body is constructed from multiple pieces, and the wheels are RP25‑110 profile OO gauge wheels with brake blocks fitted in line with the tread. Metal buffers and removable NEM coupler pockets with mini tension‑lock couplers are also provided.
