Manufacturer description
The 24 ton steel ore hopper wagon was originally drawn up and produced by Charles Roberts of Wakefield in the early 1930s and very similar vehicles were also produced by other manufacturers from around this time. Originally, they were supplied to private owners, rather than the main railway companies, and their principle use was for the carriage of iron ore to the various steelworks.
In later years, although their main use was still for ore traffic, they were also used for a variety of other loads including coal for which they carried a reduced tonnage. They were finally decommissioned in the early 1980s with several surviving into preservation.

The Dapol 24T Hopper Cadbury model is a representation of a 24 ton steel ore hopper wagon in OO gauge. The model has a length of 82mm, a width of 33mm, and a height of 40mm. It features a pristine finish and a Cadbury livery. The model has a minimum radius curve of Radius 1 and uses NEM couplings.
The real-life 24 ton steel ore hopper wagons were originally manufactured by Charles Roberts of Wakefield in the early 1930s. They were designed for private owners and were primarily used for transporting iron ore to steelworks. Although their main use remained ore traffic, they were also used for carrying coal and other loads.
The model is highly detailed, featuring profiled wheels, highly detailed body moulding, and superbly printed livery and details. It also has NEM pockets with self-centring couplings. The model is a representation of the Big Four period, during which the railways were operated by the LNER, LMS, GWR, and SR.
