Graham Farish HYA Bogie Hopper Wagon GBRf Silver 'Coal' 371030 (N)

HYA Bogie Hopper Wagon GBRf Silver 'Coal' 371030

The HYA Bogie Hopper Wagons were introduced from 2007 to transport coal to the UK’s coal-fired powers station. In later years, as the country transitioned away from burning coal the wagons were made redundant and found a new use moving biomass for which they were recoded IIA.

The imposing wagons are reproduced faithfully in N scale using an injection moulded bodyshell, complete with interior partitions within the hopper, and hopper doors suspended from the underframe. Further details are added in the form of handwheels, lamp irons, buffers and separate pipe runs, and metal weights are fitted above each bogie for smooth and assured running. Those bogies are finely-moulded replicas of the prototype, fitted with metal wheelsets and with standard N scale couplings fitted into the NEM coupling pockets. The real wagons had a bare metal finish which is replicated on the Graham Farish model along with GBRf branding and the word ‘coal’ at one end. The outline of the former FirstGroup logos can also be seen, harking back to the time when the GBRf was owned by the group and operated as First GBRf.
