World of Railways Exclusive Accurascale 16T BSC scrap wagons arrive

We are delighted to announce the imminent arrival of our exclusive set from Accurascale; a set of three British Steel marked scrap wagons in a distinctive industrial livery.

British Steel acquired life-expired 16T minerals, along with other types, for conveying scrap material to furnaces for recycling, resulting in a hotch-potch of types, repairs and condition, in an internal use livery that was frequently little more than locally applied ownership marking, numbers and weights marked for the benefit of those handling the materials.

The set of three British Steel Corporation marked vehicles with patches, local renumbering and weight panels, are based on internal use wagons from within South Wales steel sites dating through the 1970s to 1980s. Although the livery of the wagon is in the style of these beaten, tatty and weathered wagons, which means they are ready to go into action, but it’s a headstart for you as a modeller to create an individually created unique model.

The models feature a die-cast chassis base with many etched, plastic and wire detail parts, including handrails, grab handles, side-door stops, brake gear, draw gear, with 3-link and Instanter couplings in the accessory pack.

Specific livery elements to this exclusive edition:

• Grey body with rust-coloured patched panels and scrape marks
• Dark grey weld seam lines to re-panelling
• BSC and wagon designation in white lettering
• White-painted handbrake lever
• Yellow load weight panels and lettering

The price is £74.95, including VAT, plus postage for a boxed set of three wagons. The production run is strictly limited to 250 sets. Sets can be ordered at worldofrailways.hooluh.co.uk
