Seen as very much the ‘missing link’ in the ‘Powering Britain’ range, the 16 ton mineral wagon is an essential addition to the Accurascale range to tell the story of coal traffic on the railways throughout the 20th century. The archetypal BR 16 ton all-steel non-hoppered mineral wagon proliferated across the United Kingdom’s railway network during the 1950s and 1960s and there was probably not a siding, freight yard or industrial railway system in the country that did not house at least an example or three of these vitally important, yet mundane railway vehicles.

 

  • Model Specification:
  • Die-cast metal chassis with plastic body. Weight of 37g (excluding coal load).
  • Scale length of 78mm over buffers, and 34.53mm wide.
  • Wheelbase of 36mm, allowing operation over a minimum radius of 371mm (1st radius set-track).
  • Separately fitted side doors, top doors and end doors.
  • Metal 3-hole wheels; chemically blackened 00 Gauge RP25-110 standard, set in blackened brass bearings and conforming to Accurascale standards of 14.4mm back-to-back, on 2mm axles over 26mm pinpoints.
  • Eroded metal, plastic and wire detail parts, including handrails, grab handles, side-door handles, lamp brackets, brake gear, draw gear, 3-link and Instanter couplings.
  • Turned metal sprung buffers.

Phenomenal Wagons!

Impossible to find a fault with these models, smooth and free rolling but solid and heavy enough stay on track, whilst the impressive underframe and brake rigging details don't hamper performance!

The definitive 16t mineral wagon?

I think so. Fabulous attention to detail, uniquely numbered so very easy to build as long a rake as needed. Now to get them weathered ... :)

First Class.

The only problem with these wagons is that they make all my other wagons look 2nd class. Exceptional detail from the works plate to the end door handles.

Marvellous Minerals!!!!! Fantastic detail on these wagons as we have all come to expect from Accurascale. I'll certainly be weathering these in due course to represent a proper 16 tonner, too clean at the moment!

16T of wagon goodness

At £25 per wagon - and less than that if you buy more than one pack - these are a steal. The detail is excellent, right down to the sprung buffers. They're reassuringly weighty without being too heavy and they roll very nicely showing no sign of wobble. Really great.

Top class models

Accurascale deliver again with these highly detailed models. Come in a pack of 3, beautifully packaged and are excellent value for money. Performance is top notch and make a fantastic addition to any model railway.

16T Mineral Wagon

These are the best mineral wagons out there for the price they look good in a rake and should weather really nice. Look forward to doing these.
