A new range of OO Scale KQA/KTA Wagons has been announced.
During the 1990s, the growing use of 9'6" tall (High Cube) containers was causing problems for freight operators transporting them on height-restricted UK railway lines using standard intermodal flatbed wagons. The Tiphook approach to solving this problem was not the conventional solution of lowering the platform and using smaller wheels. Instead, they designed a latticed platform that sat low down, below the top level of the bogies and a pocket was formed with the slab sides that gave the wagon strength and rigidity.
In total, seventy-five of these wagons were built by Rautaruuki in Finland. They were delivered in two batches between 1997 and 1998 and bore a blue Tiphook livery. Dapol are pleased to be now able to supply the later TOUAX livery version of these wagons.
Features Include:
- Highly detailed body moulding
- Accurately applied livery
- NEM pockets and couplings fitted as standard
