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.

Stunning Models

I have several sets of these quite outstanding wagons. All, like this one are superb renditions of the ubiquitous and humble 16 tonner which was made in the hundreds of thousands by BR. These models do full justice to the real thing and there are almost all variations available from Accurascale. The wagons boast a host of fine intricate detail, have weighty chassis which aids smooth running. Separate doors allow the interior detail to more replicate the real thing. Livery is well applied and it seems a shame to cover it and the beautifully applied markings with weathering! However to replicate the real thing, that is what has to happen. I am part way through weathering 18 wagons at present. Best model of the 16 Ton mineral by far!

Excellent model, grate detail, with the bearings smooth free wheeling, data panels grate quality. The nem pockets have a solid one pice swivel head unlike the standard two pronged swivel head nem pocket, which I congratulate accuascale for making them a little stronger .
