## About This Content
Through a large part of the 20th Century, most coal was transported throughout
the majority of the United Kingdom in open wagons with a capacity of up to
16T. In the North East of England though, a 21t hopper was a more common
sight. The North Eastern Railway (and then LNER) served many locations where
the bottom doors were more practical than the side or end doors of traditional
open wagons. British Railways continued with the building of this design of
wagon, with the very first design to Diagram 1/141, as represented in this
pack, being almost identical to the last LNER examples.

There were a total of 1,200 wagons built to this diagram, with the distinctive
long LNER type brake lever and LNER clasp brakes that were only fitted to one
side of the vehicle, these vehicles were built with hand brakes only. The
hoppers were all built during 1949 in 3 lots. Lots 2052 and 2053 were of 500
wagons each, built by Cravens in Sheffield and Head Wrightsons at Thornaby
respectively. The final 200 wagons of Lot 2054 were produced by Teeside Bridge
& Engineering Ltd of Middlesbrough.
Some of these wagons had their bodies replaced in the late 1960s with the
later, heavier type of body bracing. Further examples were included within the
large body replacement program that took place in the 1970s, but they kept the
LNER style brakes until withdrawn from service.

These alterations are not included within this pack, but are mentioned to
illuminate the changes that happened across the life of these wagons.
The dia. 1/141 HTO 21t Coal Hopper Wagon Pack for Train Simulator includes
original pattern body and long LNER pattern brake levers in unfitted grey
livery.

Other features include:
* Four different weathering variations
* Loaded and unloaded versions with suitable physics
* Four different type of TOPS panel/lettering – randomly assigned but can be overridden
* Loaded versions have five different load profiles randomly assigned
* Animated handbrake lever
The pack includes a user manual with further details about the rolling stock
and the customising of some of the features when using the wagons in
scenarios. To allow the formation of correctly marshalled trains a British
Railways dia. 1/506 unfitted 20T brake van is also bundled with this wagon
pack.
