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.

Excellent

Super model. Excellent detail. Bought two of these. Just waiting to see what future releases are going to be in regards to 16 tonnes, ie vac braked or clasp braked in fitted and unfitted versions.

BR 16 Tonner Mineral Wagon

I choose this little lot as they looked just standard without too many markings and just remind me of the days I used to see them in the 1970s. If there are any left get them as you will not be disappointed. These are the best mineral models I have seen in a long time. So accurate and the whole package and box just superb and the leaflet on the wagons was very informative. Excellent all round and the value with the deals you cant say no!

The best RTR BR 16T mineral wagon?

I can now see why you pay £25 for these RTR wagons, they are exceptional in detail and production. Be hard to make any kit this good.

BR 16T Wagons - Wow

Superb wagons, far above any other 16T wagon I've come across so far.

Very pleased with the new features of built in bearings on the axles, first time I've seen it on a rolling stock item, and it does wonders for them. Hopefully it is a feature we see regularly now on all rolling stock.

Also a first time for sprung buffers on a rolling stock item, very nice! Looking forward to the rest of my wagons packs now.

BR 16T Minerals, Dia 1/108 (Pack C)

Keenly awaited the new 16Ts are here, mine arrived last week, just in time for the Bognor Regis show. I have already weathered them, two having a load of coal added. They look excellent and are beautiful models. Running qualities are also very good, each wagon has a good weight to it. Very nice Accurscale and well done. Two more boxes arriving today (Dia 1/109). My only criticism is the length of the shorter of the two sets of couplings supplied, they are still really long, I will endeavour to fit the short nem couplings, but there will need to be some modifications made to the spacer that is supplied. That is the only negative about yje excellent wagons.
