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.
  • Model Specification:
  • Die-cast metal chassis with plastic body. Weight of 37g (excluding coal load).
  • Scale length of 78mm over buffers, and 34.53mm wide.
  • Wheelbase of 36mm, allowing operation over a minimum radius of 371mm (1st radius set-track).
  • Separately fitted side doors, top doors and end doors.

  • Turned metal sprung buffers.

ICI Soda Ash 16T steel wagons ..

Great product, very realistic with all details like the real thing, including minute transfers that need a magnifying glass to read.. . No detail is missed.
They run perfectly individually or in rakes..
The blue/red colours really capture the original wagons ..
I should know, I worked as an Engineer on Wallerscote Island, where they were loaded, direct from the Soda Ash production process….
The only thing that needs doing is weathering then white from the overspills when loading ..
So good, have ordered enough for two rakes …

Smelling of roses...

Having bought both P and Q packs of the ICI sodium carbonate wagons I'm well pleased. Based on on photos and information of the real wagons they appear well finished in all respects (although without the weathering the real ones quickly acquired). Shades of blue and grey seem just right, and even the traffic-essential hoods are finished in various shades of grey - although many have a more blue colour in photographs. In the book 'Coasters around Britain (Bernard McCall 1989) there is an excellent photo of a coaster being loaded at the Manchester Ship Canal tippler, and various ICI wagons can be seen - a bit of a challenge for the model builders!

Lovely Wagons

These wagons are exquisiltely detailed, look great in their ICI livery, with the tarpaulins looking realistic. They run well and were a good price with the rake discount.
