Manufacturer description

The O&K JHA hoppers were built by Orenstein & Koppel to coincide with the introduction of the Class 59’s in the UK for aggregate haulage by Foster Yeoman. They remain in service to date with Mendip Rail Ltd. A rake of these wagons consist of two outer wagons and a number of inner wagons.

The notable feature is that the two outer wagons have screw link couplings and buffers on the outer most edge of the train, whilst the connection between inner wagons is a buckeye style coupling allowing closer coupling and hence an overall reduction in length of the train which was considered an important design aim.

The Dapol O & K JHA end hopper model, representing Foster Yeoman wagon 19317, is a highly detailed OO gauge model. The model is DCC ready, with a 6-pin socket, and features a Bogie wheel arrangement.

The model is designed to replicate the Orenstein & Koppel built wagons used by Foster Yeoman for aggregate haulage in the UK. These wagons remain in service with Mendip Rail Ltd to this day. The notable design feature of the wagons is the use of screw link couplings and buffers on the outer wagons, with a buckeye style coupling used for the inner wagons, allowing for a reduction in train length.

The model features a diecast chassis, profiled wheels, and is designed from works drawings. The model includes sprung buffers on the outer most wagons, and inner and outer versions of the hopper. The outer wagons feature a lamp, while the inner wagons have buckeye couplings. A close coupling mechanism is fitted to both types, allowing for operation on minimum radius curves of 438mm.

The model measures 182mm in length, 33mm in width, and 48mm in height. An accessory pack is included, featuring two versions of interconnecting pipes, and a working rear lamp on the outer most end of the train. The model is finished with a high level of detail, including many separately added details.
