Bachmann 38-500 OO Gauge BR COVHOP Covered Hopper Wagon Bauxite Livery
A detailed model of the BR diagram 1/210 covered hopper (COVHOP) wagon. Developed in the 1950s these wagons provided a self-clearing hopper discharge wagon suitable for bulk powder products which required reliable weather protection. Typical loads included salt, soda ash and dry sand, all of which would be lost or damaged by wind and rain, or fail to discharge through the hopper when wet.
The model, being produced in OO 'ready to run' for the first time, boasts a variety of great prototype detail features including replicated alternative braking systems, separately attached catwalks and filler lids.
Model painted in the later BR goods brown livery with TOPS wagon data panels.
