Dapol 2F-050-103 O & K JHA (Middle Hopper) Foster Yeoman 19349 Early, Wagon, N Gauge

The O & K JHA hoppers were built by Orenstein & Koppel to coincide with the introduction of the Class 59s in the UK for aggregate haulage by Foster Yeoman. They remain in service to date with Mendip Rail Ltd. A rake of these wagons consists of two outer wagons and a number of inner wagons. The notable feature is that the two outer wagons have screw link couplings and buffers on the outer most edge of the train, whilstthe connection between inner wagons is a buckeye style coupling allowing closer coupling and hence an overall reduction in length of the train which was considered an important design aim. FEATURES Inner and outer versions of the hopper will be produced a. Inner wagons without buffers and NEM compatible dummy buckeye coupling bar (Rapido style also included for tighter curves) b. Outer wagons with removeable (non functional) lamp, buffers and Standard N model coupling with NEM pocket at one end, other endis without buffers and fitted with a NEM compatible dummy buckeye coupling bar. Diecast chassis Profiled wheels Fixed buffers on outer most wagon end Kinematic style close coupling mechanism fitted to both types, capable of operating on minimum of 263.5mm radius The models will be finished with high level of detail which will include many separately added details Designed from works drawings SPECIFICATIONS ITEM NUMBER 2F-050-103 OPERATOR Foster Yeoman WAGON TYPE JHA Hoppers RUNNING NUMBER 19349
