Accurascale ACC2596HCA-EWS2

DESCRIPTION

Pack of three HCA Wagons in EWS Maroon. Running numbers: 351077,351119, 354295.

A total of 10,961 of these iconic wagons were built between 1964 and 1982, with all but 162 constructed at Shildon (the other 160 were built at Ashford). The standard MGR coal hoppers were initially coded ‘HOP AB’ complete with B-prefixed numbers from new. They then became HAA under TOPS and the B prefix was dropped in the mid-1970s. Canopy-fitted wagons from that time were classified as ‘HOP 32 AB’, later being recoded as HCA.
