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.

Magnificent Minerals

These new 16t mineral wagons from Accurascale are the finest on the market and really capture the feel of the real wagons in 4mm!

16T Mineral pack K

A quality product with amazing detail inside, outside and beneath. Not sure about the grey markings on the side panels of this pack but believe they are accurate. Just my opinion on how it looks on the model. I also had a couple of wheels that were too tight on gauge. Easily resolved and now perfect running even on my poorly laid track!

Resistance is futile...

I had a plan to buy just one pack - after all, I didn't need many anyway and my existing examples were more than good enough - ha! I'm now very happily in possession of three packs of 1/108s...
It's been said elsewhere, but the finesse of the brakegear looks like it might/should work, together with the variety (of, amongst others, brake levers (also correctly shaped), axle boxes, body styles) and detail such as the brake lever guide tie bars make it difficult to say 'no'. The promise/expectation/hope of more varieties (eg vacuum braked examples (4- and 8-shoe please)) can only bode well.
Well done - again - and I'm trying to resist a pack of 1/109s (you know why) whilst eagerly awaiting a pair of green Brush Type 2s to complement them...

Up to the usual Accurascale standard

As I've just said for Pack H, well detailed and well put together, with nice, subtle differences in markings between each wagon in the pack.
