R60250 Hornby 27 Ton Iron Ore Tippler Wagon ZKV Zander number DB388822 in BR Brown livery - Era 7

New release - pre-orders invited - expected October 2024. preauthkernow

An iron ore tippler wagon was an all-steel mineral wagon that did not have doors. Each wagon featured heavier axleboxes for carrying iron ore. The wagons could be turned over for unloading at its destination, the steelworks.

The British Iron & Steel Foundation proposed that a 27-ton tippler wagon could be introduced into traffic and provided extensive tabular details as justification. Differences between the ironstone hopper wagon and the 27-ton tippler wagon featured very minor dimensional changes and the fitting of self-contained buffers. Some iron ore tippler wagons were intended for chalk traffic, but an exact number is not known.

A ZKV Zander wagon is used to represent transporting iron ore on the BR network. The model comes complete in a bauxite livery to represent one of the numerous ZKV Zander wagons that were unpainted. Each vertical rib has box sections.
