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.

Nothing POO about these wagons: Pack P.

These are lovely variants of the 16T Mineral rolling stock with tarpaulin covers. The detailing is marvellous and the build quality is excellent in these triple packs. Though I did have one buffer lose in one pack.One thing I would have liked was the tarpaulin covers to have been made from flexible sheeting to mimic the covers than the hard plastic facsimiles. I pointed this option out with the Steel Coil Wagons after there release. Other than that these are beautifully designed models.
