Mianra BR 16T - 1/108 - BR Freight Grey (Téacs bunaidh ar phainéil dubha) - Pacáiste B

The new 16T mineral wagons from Accurascale are amazing. I never though so much detail could be found on the humble 16T mineral wagon, but they've somehow done it! Also love the multi-pack discount, an affordable way to make up a large rake. Will look superb behind an 8F or 9F!

Well detailed and with plenty of minor variations to keep even a short range of wagons full of differences. Crisp decoration and smooth running add to the enjoyment of seeing these clanking around the layout!

Well detailed and will benefit from a bit of weathering

I’m no expert in 16t minerals but these look the part and run well. I need to weather them as they were never pristine for long.

The mineral wagons contain a wealth of fine detail. It seems that etched components have been used to create the fine details. The Dia 109 don`t have the cosmetic gusset / stanchions which connect the body to the solebar, whilst Dia 108 have these . However I am very dissapointed that these wagons can not be converted to EM or P4 gauge without major surgery. When Accurscale was launched you stated that the finescale society`s would be consulted to help with conversions. Clearly not in this case. When you launch a product please state if it is designed with the wider gauges in mind. I am not looking forward to converting 21 minerals. Brake gear and safety loops have to be removed and repositioned. Not easy . I appreciate most of your customers will be 00 gauge but it would be pleasing if modellers working in the finer scales are considered. The Mk 1 surburbans require major work to convert to P4. I hope this is not regarded as negative but of constructive criticism and I will continue to purchase models suitable for my era.

A very easy way to build a coal train with uniquely numbered wagons. Plenty of detail, with opportunity for lots of subtle variations across the wagons.

These new 16t mineral wagons are excellent and really capture the character of the prototype in 4mm scale - TOP MARKS!

Absolutely fantastic wagons and worth the wait as always. Might order a couple more packs

Outstanding product stunning detail and visually excellent a great addition to my layout, thank you Accurascale A+

Tooling is excellent but I do think the grey bodywork is too light
