TT6037 Railfreight HAA – Triple Pack Hopper Wagons (TT:120 Scale)

Recreate the power and movement of Britain's iconic coal trains with the BR Railfreight HAA Hopper Wagon Triple Pack, designed for TT:120 scale layouts. Finished in authentic 1980s BR Railfreight livery with distinctive red frames, each wagon features realistic weathering and individual running numbers—357570, 357571, and 357572—for added authenticity and visual interest in your freight operations.

Developed in response to the rising demand for coal-powered electricity in the 1960s, the HAA hoppers were the backbone of the ‘Merry-go-Round’ (MGR) train system. These purpose-built wagons were designed for continuous loading and unloading of pulverised coal, even while in motion. Following initial prototypes built at Darlington Works in 1964–65, over 10,700 wagons were produced at Shildon Works, with further variants like the HDA (improved braking) and others including HBA, HCA, HFA, HMA, and HNA, entering service.

Capable of carrying 33 tonnes of coal, these wagons were a mainstay of British Rail’s heavy freight fleet until the final MGR services ended in 2008. This triple pack captures the essence of that era, making it an essential addition for anyone modelling modern industrial freight scenes or late steam and early diesel operations.

Perfect for adding historical depth and operational realism to your layout.
