IIA Biomass Bogie Hoppers

The Accurascale IIA biomass hopper features several notable changes over the previously announced HYA/IIA coal hopper. As well as the distinctive roof doors and operating equipment, it also has the WH Davis revised design of end plates with just seven wider vertical stiffeners versus 15 on the Romanian-built examples, plus door master controls and four additional small boxes per side that contain the magnetic switches on the real thing for door/hopper operation.
Both livery variants will be produced in the first run each with two packs of two hoppers giving eight unique numbers. One pack will also include a hopper with factory-installed illuminated flashing tail lamp, with on-off magnetic switch control (telescoping magnet wand supplied).
