165 vacuum braked Borails were built to diagrams 1/482 and 1/483 in the late 1950s. The Borails were built with 8' plate bogies and vacuum brakes.

During the mid-1980s some of the Mullets were converted in to YQA Parrs. Many of the Parrs had additional ratchet straps added and the YQAs have flat decks with a pair of longitudinal beams on the deck and fold over flaps at the ends of the deck.

Catalogue listing

Revolution Trains YQA Parrs Mainline Branding – Twin Pack (part number RT‑OO‑YQA‑410) is an OO gauge model representing the early privatisation era of British railways.

The pack contains two wagons, each with a different number: one in Mainline blue (DC967580) and the other in departmental yellow with Mainline branding (DC967645). Both are modelled to a scale of 1:76.2 and include accurate differences in buffers, bogies and brake gear.

Key specifications include RP25.110 gauge wheels on 26 mm axles, NEM coupler sockets and a minimum radius of 2 inches (second radius). The wagons are built to the dimensions of the original 165 vacuum‑braked Borail wagons, which were constructed to diagrams 1/482 and 1/483 in the late 1950s with 8‑foot plate bogies and vacuum brakes.

During the mid‑1980s a number of the original Mullets were converted into YQA Parrs. The conversions added ratchet straps and gave the wagons flat decks fitted with longitudinal beams and fold‑over flaps at each end.
