An excellent and highly detailed model of the VTG Ferrywagon telescopic hood covered coil wagons finished in Tiphook Rail blue livery. Designed to ensure that high-grade steel sheet being transported in rolls or coils for pressing of car body panels and domestic appliance casings arrived in perfect condition.
The model features sliding hoods, allowing the interior to be accessed. Dapol have even supplied several steel coil models, ideal for representing a loading or unloading scene and displaying OO modelling at its' best.
Detailed model of the Link Hofmann Busch telescpoic hood coiled steel carrier wagons built 1979-1985 and operated by VTG, then Tiphook Rail. Used for conveying high quality steel sheet these wagons were often seen in trains between South Wales steel plants and the manufacturing plants across the country.

As part of the development of the long wheelbase air braked wagons intended for fast goods trains a flat bed stake sided steel carrier wagon was produced. This proved ill-suited for many steel products, so following trials with a low-sided body 1,1000 SPA wagons were built. These have low, steel drop-door side bodies able to retain coiled products like rod/wire and featured floor bolsters suitable for loading and unloading by fork-lift truck.As with many of the air-braked wagons there have been many subsequent modifications, both for revenue and departmental uses.
The UKF pallet van was a bogie freight wagon that would be a relatively common sight on UK rails during the 1970s and 1980s. The 'Palvans' had an 82 tonne capacity and were designed to transport palletised products on the rails, in the UK this often took the form of fertiliser from the UKF company. UKF would be known as Shellstar before adopting the name of the Dutch company Unie van Kunstmest Fabrieken.
Initially versions of the Palvan were curtain sided with newer versions being constructed with sliding side doors. This enhancement would prove to be a success, and earlier wagons would be retrofitted with their curtains removed and doors fitted. All of these received the TOPS code PWA.
The TTA tanker is one of the most numerous types of tanker wagon ever seen on British railways. While far from the first or last such wagon to be used the standardised nature and relative simplicity of the mechanisms in the tank and chassis led to thousands being built during the 1960s and 70s.
Mainly for the use of petrochemical products the TTA tanker would see use in heavy block trains around the country, hauled by some of the most notable diesel freight engines to have served with BR. Withdrawal for the wagons would begin in the early 2000s when larger bogie tank engines would take over their role, with most examples of the wagon scrapped other than a handful preserved for posterity.
The Hornby TTA tanker is a newly tooled for 2023, the first time this has been retooled since 1973. With a phenomenal amount of detail on what can sometimes be seen as a rather plain wagon these are a must for any late twentieth century modeller.

The SEA series wagons were adapted from SPA steel carrier wagons and fitted with a simple flexible hood system, similar to that adopted for road vehicles to provide weather protection for steel products moving between processing plants or as finished product. The main user of these wagons was Allied Steel and Wire, Cardiff and many of the hoods carried the company's logo or Cardiff Rod Mill lettering in addition to BR Railfreight metals logos.
The TEA tanker was designed to take large loads of hazardous liquids from refineries to ports and storage facilities. With a loaded capacity of 100 tonnes, these wagons would often need to be pulled by double heading diesel locomotives. These long and imposing tank wagons are a must have for a late BR modeller.
This wagon is presented in a pristine finish, not that these wagons would look like that for long such as the nature of their dirty work and high milage.
At just over 60 feet in length the KFA is able to accommodate a raft of different containers from the standardised range, which tend to use the two main sizes of 40 foot and 20 foot. Be it 3 twenty foot containers or a twenty footer with forty footer, the KFA is able to haul them with ease.
The Hornby KFA wagon is fully diecast, with some separately fitted details on the chassis enhancing the level of detail achieved with what can sometimes be seen as quite a plain wagon. Studs on the chassis allow for the fitting of modular containers both included with the set and available separately.
The BDA steel carrier wagons were converted from older bogie bolster wagons, being fitted with new high-speed bogies and air brake systems.
This model is painted in the Loadhaul black and orange livery.
The EWS Megabox wagons proved too large for some traffic types, resulting in overloading. Many were reduced in height to prevent this, resulting in this MOA low-sided design.
This early build wagon has flat floors on the ends and round head buffers.
A detailed model of the FNA smooth sided nuclear flask carrier wagon with hood cover in place.This model is of wagon 550043, with the large numeral shown on the flask cover. This is a later build wagon, featuring sloping floors to promote self-draining of water while the wagons are washed down. Oval head buffers are fitted to this batch of wagons.
These wagons were updated versions of the traditional bogie bolster, being equipped specifically for the carriage of steel coil. Using standard fixtures the wagons could be loaded and unloaded quickly with modern mechanical handling machinery. The BAA wagons formed the backbone of the steel carrying fleet from the 1970s until new covered coil wagons were ordered by EWS in the late 1990s.

A detailed OO gauge model of the JHA aggregate hopper wagons built by Powell Duffryn for ARC, initially painted in ARC livery, later repainted into Hanson Aggregates colours. This fleet of wagons is notable due to the use of the inside bearing TF1 bogies and trains are normally formed with a number of bufferless 'middle' wagons coupled between 'end' wagons which have conventional couplings at one end. Dapol have replicated this using buffers and tension lock couplers at the outer end of end wagons and knuckle couplers to and between middle wagons.Model of ARC PD type JHA hopper middle wagon 19823 in ARC olive and grey livery.
