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.

More Unique ICI Liveried Minerals

These wagons are of the Batch 2 ICI POO wagons. As such they have additional variations from the Pack P models, mainly the solid sheet replacement for the side doors and the later lighter grey livery on two of the wagons. Of course, the third wagon in this pack is distinctive due to its actually exhibiting the TOPS 'POO' Code. Other than that, my comments on Pack P apply here - another outstanding wagon model, finely detailed with an exquisite finish, including wagon-specific details and lettering. The patchwork finish on the sheet covers is a nice touch. Used for soda ash traffic, the only thing needed is some appropriate weathering of the wagon itself as I'm sure they didn't stay in pristine condition for long - a little rust and a white powdery dusting from spilled soda ash. My only issue is I can't figure out how to remove the sheet covering. The sheets will need removing temporarily to properly weather the wagons. Other than that, these are a fantastic addition to the range.

Great Wagon

These guys know how to make a model and these are some of the best, if not the best, wagon models made yet. First rate.

More great wagons

Glad I purchased both packs of the ICI versions - more variety, plus a discount. Accurascale have done a great job on these wagons. Detailing, painting and printing are excellent.

the tarps are so tight though I daren't use any more force and can't get them off. (are a friction fit)

ICI Mond Pack Q

A mix of the earlier green-grey and a blue grey soda ash wagons. All three with single side brake blocks, and side doors removed. Superb attention to detail from Accurascale with the subtle differences between individual wagons. I hope they decide to release a few more like these
