The BR 21-ton mineral wagons were introduced by BR between 1950 and 1960, and had a long-lasting service life hauling coal, ore and other bulk material. The Hornby model of this useful open wagon is an authentic and highly detailed replica, and perfect for running behind steam engines late in their career, or British Rail era diesel locomotives like the Class 31 and 37. TT6060 represents a triple pack of BR grey 21-ton mineral wagons, with ‘Coal 21’ TOPS code and numbered B315885, B315893, and B315897.

History:
Ideal for steam-era layouts based in the 1950s and ‘60s, through the BR ‘corporate’ era until the 1980s, these double-door, unfitted steel-bodied wagons were built between 1950 and 1952, with a total of 2,500 initially produced for BR. The ‘MDO’ was succeeded by the ‘MDV’ and ‘MDW’ versions, eventually totalling almost 14,000 wagons. The triple-pack features three of the original ‘MDO’ wagons, each with a different running number.
