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.
  • Metal 3-hole wheels; chemically blackened 00 Gauge RP25-110 standard, set in blackened brass bearings and conforming to Accurascale standards of 14.4mm back-to-back, on 2mm axles over 26mm pinpoints.
  • Eroded metal, plastic and wire detail parts, including handrails, grab handles, side-door handles, lamp brackets, brake gear, draw gear, 3-link and Instanter couplings.
  • Turned metal sprung buffers.

The perfect model

Great model with fantastic detail. They run very well and I now have a very sizable rake of these wagons.

Well up to Accurascale's standard!

I already have lots of 16-tonners, from the original Airfiox kits through most other kits and many RTR makes. So I didsn't NEED any more, but these have been calling to me for months, and I fuinally gave in when they were likely to sell out. I'm so glad I did! They are just finer mouldings than all the rest, just weightier, needing no further weighting to track through points and crossings so silkily. The usually-unseen details underneath are exquisite, better than I could ever do. can you tell I am happy with my purchase yet? Thanks Accurascale, very much.

Diag 109 Minerals

Exquisite detail and we'll finished. Strongly and safely packed. I like the provision of 3 link couplings and proper brake safety loops are excellent.
Pity the running numbers for these Diag 109 vehicles are actually for Diag 108 cousins. Generally good value for money.

Another splendid release from Accurascale, very fine detail on these much needed wagons.

Superb models

Really love these little wagons. Outstanding detail (although some detail inside, would add something for when the wagons run without a load). Very free rolling. Superb models.
