ICI Hopper - década de 1950 a 1973 - Twin Pack E

The Pack number E is irrelevant here. I've purchaced 5-packs A to E to make a rake of 10 wagons. The box they come in is far too large and so they create storage issues. I havn't run them yet, but what supprised me was how light they were. I think they are made of all plastic. They need a die cast chassis at least IMO to add needed gravitas. They could also do with having an optional moulded load made available to buy. I bought them after visiting Locomotion Museum at Shildon & seeing one. They look like quite modern wagons, but finding out they were build in 1936 & were still perfectly good when withdrawn in the 1990s, really supprised me. This means they can be used using the Big 4 era locos & all through the BR eras.

I purchased 10 wagons but the run so well I’m going to get 5 more packs

Good looking wagons

Having read the article in Traction, inside the monthly BRM magazine, about the ICI hopper traffic I decided to fit a rake into my layout to add further interest.

I purchased five packs A-E and these duly arrived within a few days of purchase. They run very smooth, although a bit light, but hopefully I may be able to source some stone cast plaster loads, if available.

All in all my first Accurascale products and I am very pleased with them, thank you.

I bought 5 twin packs. Each is as bad or good as the other. i have given you my review of them all some days ago. To sum up they are too light and the packaging, imho, is over the top. the wagons are brilliant.
