We can now announce details of our latest commission from Hornby.
This will be a pack of three lightly weathered HAA 'Merry-go-Round' coal hopper wagons with an authentic Scottish flavour! Side frames are blue with a small Saltire flag in the centre. These distinctive markings have been applied to many of the Scottish HAA's and the wagons are now seen mixed with standard HAAs in coal trains over many parts of Britain.
