History

The TTA tank wagons were introduced by BR in the 1960s, with 1000s built to replace ageing tank wagons of smaller capacity that it had inherited from private-owner fleets. Used to transport oil and petroleum products, they were still being built into the 1970s, with the last remaining in service until the early 2000s.

This EWS HFA Hopper triple-pack brings realistic bulk freight operations to your TT:120 layout. Finished in authentic EWS livery on the chassis, each wagon features fine detailing and unique running numbers (354248, 354249, and 354250).

History

With increasing demand for electricity in the 1960s, several new generation power stations were built, which required a continuous supply of coal at a rapid rate. A new design of wagon was developed that could be loaded and then emptied via underfloor doors while on the move, in what were termed ‘Merry-go-Round’ (MGR) trains. 

Following the construction of two prototypes at Darlington Works in 1964/5, a staggering 10,702 hopper wagons were built at Shildon Works, with a further 160 turned out at Ashford. Another 460 of the ‘HDA’ variant were built at Shildon, these being basically the same, but had improved braking to allow them to run at 60mph rather than 45mph. 

All versions of the ‘HAA’ carried 33 tonnes of pulverised coal. Other variants of the HAA included HBA, HCA, HFA, HMA and HNA, all of which had subtle differences but were essentially similar. The last MGR trains ran to Longannet power station in Scotland during 2008, and after that, only a small number of a CDA variant, converted for use on China clay traffic, remained in use.

These wagons were supplied with an aerodynamic canopy and could operate at 45mph when loaded. The wagons in the triple-pack each have different running numbers.

Bring classic coal traffic to your TT:120 layout with this BR Railfreight HAA Hopper triple-pack. Each wagon features authentic livery and individual running numbers - 357570, 357571, and 357572, making them a perfect addition to any freight fleet.

The original and most common of the ‘MGR’ hopper wagons, these are presented in 1980s BR Railfreight livery with red frames. Each of the wagons has a different running number.

History

These were built in vast numbers for private owners to move all types of bulk liquids by rail, including petroleum, oil, tar, paraffin and chemicals. Although there were many variations in design, they were a common sight on Britain’s railways from the early part of the 20th century. Typically, they would be built on a wooden-framed chassis with cross timbers for the metal tank to sit between, then braced with wire straps securing the tank to the chassis.

Each of these attractively-painted Royal Daylight petrol tankers has a different running number; 15345, 15346 and 15347.
