Dapol 4F-050-109 O&K JHA (Middle Hopper) Foster Yeoman Early 19330

Description

DESCRIPTION
PROTOTYPE
The O&K JHA hoppers were built by Orenstein & Koppel to coincide with the introduction of the Class 59’s in the UK for aggregate haulage by Foster Yeoman. They remain in service to date with Mendip Rail Ltd. A rake of these wagons consist 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, whilst the 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.

MODEL
These model O&K JHA Hoppers are highly detailed and will be a great addition to your rolling stock.
