Heljan has released a new model of a Cargowaggon IWB Bogie Van in the livery of Blue Circle Cement, numbered 2797 611-1. The model is designed for OO gauge model railways and features a weathered finish.

The wagon is based on the real-life IWB Bogie Van, which was built in 1977. The model represents the British Rail Sectorisation period, a time of significant change in the railway industry. The wagon has a bogie wheel arrangement and features NEM couplings.

This model is ideal for modern or diesel era model railways and is part of a range of modern era freight rolling stock with up-to-date livery designs. The exterior and underframe of the wagon have been highly detailed to replicate the real-life vehicle.

The model has a minimum curve requirement of radius 2 and is suitable for use on modern model railway layouts. The specification for the model includes an item number of 5024, wagon type IWB Bogie Van, operator Cargowaggon, and livery Blue Circle Cement. The couplings are NEM type and the paint finish is described as pristine.
