Dapol have produced a very nice model of the BR standard design 21-ton hopper wagons.
These wagons were developed from an LNER design, following on from the extensive use of hoppers for coal service by the North Eastern, being selected by the British Railways ideal stocks committee as a standard type. Built in both unfitted and later vacuum fitted versions these hoppers were used for coal and basic ore traffic where hopper discharge was possible, the type being closely associated with the coa, concentration depot concept. A considerable fleet of the vacuum fitted wagons remained in use untl the 1980s miners strike.
This model is available in a number of liveries lettered for BR, NCB, British Steel, British Gas, Charringtons (BR), 'house coal concentration' (BR) and Cadburys! Please indicate which livery you require in the 'other instructions' box of the checkout screen so we can order from stock currently available from Dapol.
