13T Steel Open

4000 of this diagram 1/019 wagon were built by BR in the early 1950s for transporting farm machinery and containers. 400 were fitted with RCH brake gear, the rest with LMS type 8 shoe clasp brakes. In the 1960s and 70s they were mainly used for track maintainance (carrying ballast). The model carries bulk loads, general goods and the BD and FM containers. .

Features:

Opening doors

Doors open and close when loading/unloading.

Doors may be 'posed' in the open position in Surveyor and Driver. They will automatically be closed when either the handbrake is released or the vehicle becomes part of a train with a locomotive

Animated brake gear

The brake gear mirrors the handbrake state of the vehicle

The pictures show this on the cattle wagon as an illustration of the system
