16 Tonner Stunners! Production Sample 16 Ton Minerals Arrive

[Warbonnet]

The latest entry in our "Powering Britain" range comprises of the most numerous wagon built for British Railways; the 16 Ton Mineral Wagons.

Announced in September last year, our 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; fabricated and two types of pressed steel.
• Three types of buffer housings, including the Dowty Hydraulic Buffer.
• 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.

Production is now complete and the models are on the high seas. We have reviewed and signed off on these production samples, which you can feast your eyes on below! 

Of course, we also cannot resist some private owner, industrial and internal user options when it comes to our wagons for additional interest, and one variant is called POO it makes it all the more fun to do!

Our 16 tonner stunners are now well under way on their voyage from the factory and are due in stock with us approx December 12th 2024. We will of course endeavour to get as many parcels out to customers as we can before the Christmas break, but some may spill over into the new year.

Fancy some to add to your wagon collections, or build a new train behind your latest Accurascale Class 31, 37 or even Andrew Barclay saddle tank? Pre-order yours now below, or via your local Accurascale stockist!

Are they  going  to be  fitted  with  3link/instanter  couplings as  shown the  pics? Looking  good.   Now if you have a spare  sample  to send down to Mayo to compare  with my Parkside  and  Airfix ones....
