The Next Train To Arrive EARLY is Our HTO and HTV Hopper Wagons!

Warbonnet · Friday at 11:00

Timelines eh? Sometimes manufacturers give them (always with the best of intentions) and then they sail past them. Something always comes up to derail a project and put the project back months, or even years. We've been guilty of this of course.

But, it seems that we're getting better!

Following the delivery of the 7mm Ruston locomotives on time from our initial release date, and our ICI hoppers arriving a quarter early from the original advised delivery date, we can now reveal that our 21 ton hopper wagons (TOPS code HTO and HTV) are also arriving a whole quarter early!

Originally slated for a Q3 2025 arrival, our factory have beavered away on our latest wagon project and produced a much needed gap filler in the Ready-To-Run (RTR) wagon market in OO gauge! It is also an essential in our "Powering Britain" range of wagons.

We received production samples a couple of weeks ago ahead of schedule and have began assessing them immediately. We're biased of course, but they've done a stupendous job in turning our research and design into simply beautiful models with a real quality feel.

After our assessment and rigorous checks, we were delighted to green light the hoppers to leave the factory for delivery, which they did so earlier this week.

We will let you feast on some further images below!

As with all our non "joint-venture" models now, you can pre-order your packs with NO MONEY DOWN until they arrive in stock with us. There is no "crowdfunding by stealth" with large deposits up front, just stock ready to drop when they arrive in our warehouse.

Want to spread the cost? you can do that too with our partially system for our pre-orders, or klarna, clearpay, revolut pay in three and paypal pay in three when they arrive in stock to spread the cost!

The wagons will arrive in our warehouse in late May 2025. Fancy some? Pre-order yours below...
