16 ton mineral wagon MCO in ex-BR grey - unfitted - B89616

The first of a series of ex-British Railways 16 ton mineral wagons has arrived into stock, starting with this, the unfitted wagon in grey. Coded MCO under the TOPS system of BR, this was probably one of the most common types of wagons used on UK railways during the 1950s to early 1980s. Therefore long rakes of these would be quite normal.

Being new tooling you can expect a step up on detail: crisply moulded parts, thinner walls to the body, correct 9 foot wheelbase, detachable couplings and metal-tyred wheels for free running.
