Literally just a steel box on wheels, these wagons were designed to be emptied by turning them upside down in a 'tippler' mechanism, hence there are no side or end doors. Easy to assemble from the correctly coloured injection moulded components. Kits include Transfers. Buffers are sprung and 3-link couplings are included on all models, while the BR wagons also feature working axlebox springs and moveable brake levers. Fine scale metal tyred wheels on pin-point axles supplied, 3-hole disc for the BR types. Fully illustrated instructions included.
British Railways constructed over 8,500 tippler wagons, nominally for iron ore. These wagons had no side or bottom doors and were emptied by being rolled over or later by mechanical grab buckets. The wagons were used for a range of basic mineral ores and for aggregates including roadstone.
