24 ton Iron Ore Hoppers

These have been recently announce and Dapol have indicated that they may be available around the middle of the year. The first image shows one of our decorated samples for the Tower Models Iron Ore livery

Below are all of the colour layour images for the announced liveries, as and when we have production decorated samples I will upload them to the website.

I have now also added on the three Tower Models Limited Edition BR Grey Iron Ore number options. The livery is the same as the Rutland example 7F-033-002. Only 100 each of these alternate numbers are being produced in what we consider the most iconic of the liveries. We are taking advance orders for all of these now for despatch as soon as they become available.

History

Charles Roberts built 1,000 22 ton hopper wagons to Diagram 161 in 1949, and a year later 1,500 were built to Diagram 1/162 uprated to 24 tons. These were built by Charles Roberts, and Cambrian with Birmingham upgrading 500 of the 22 ton 1/161 wagons. They were initially used for iron ore traffic and latterly Limestone, chalk and sand.
