Accurascale announces plan to produce CDAs in original livery

The CDA wagons feature a diecast chassis, brass bearings and 26mm pinpoint axles. Particular attention has been paid to the detail differences over the traditional HAA wagons these were based on, such as the equipment at the wagon end, holes in the bodyside on one side, the underframe, and of course, the hood/canopy.

Given the flexibility of the tooling, Accurascale can also cater for those wagons as built as CDAs from new, as well as those converted from HAA hoppers, giving the modellers a true variety in their wagon rake.
