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.

Top class, bold-liveried industrial-user 16T mineral wagons.

Accurascale has risen to the challenge of producing something different with these 16T mineral wagons as used by the CEGB at Kearsley Power Station. Accurascale has not taken the easy route of generic 'greyness' for industrial-user 16T mineral wagons, it has sought out the unusual in industrial use. The wagons feature loads of fine detail - all we need now is an electric Bo-Bo steeple cab! 😉 Excellent!

16 tons of goodness

The humble 16t mineral has been a staple of model railways almost since the originals were brand new. This brings 21st century quality to a tired old standard. Detail is fine and crisp - the brake gear looks like it would work. The painting and lettering on my CEGB Kearsley wagons is clean and precise. One small down is the buffer housings which look like self coloured plastic and don't quite match the shade of the body. That should disappear with weathering. Each wagon in the pack has a different number but as I have two packs they are duplicated. These will look excellent behind the Accurascale Austerity and 'Warrior' will be appropriate to these.
