Accurascale OO Gauge 16T Mineral Wagon Triple Pack – BR Pre TOPS Coal Model Railway Wagon ACC1026

Replicating British Railways in model form, Accurascale has embarked on a massive programme of tooling, by producing completely new versions of the BR 16T all-steel mineral wagon never before produced in ready-to-run format, along with a new generation of 16 ton favourites which are a must for their ‘Powering Britain’ range of coal wagons.

With all British Railways’ 16T types designed and tooled, this first run follows the story of the unfitted Morton braked wagons, with 1/108, 1/109 and MCO rebodied versions being released in a variety of liveries and running gear combinations.

Models produced in this run exhibit the following variations:
• Three types of end door
• Three types of buffer housings,
• Welded and rivetted original bodies.
• Welded rebodies.
• BR standard and square axle journals.
• Standard and pressed steel handbrake handles.
• Morton unfitted and double unfitted independent brakes.
