## About This Content
The building of 21T hoppers by British Railways for carrying coal continued on
from LNER designs. After building 2 diagrams (1/141 and 1/143) covering just
under 4,000 vehicles that were barely distinguishable from LNER built wagons
in 1949 and 1950, none were included in the 1951 building program. In 1952 new
construction resumed, this time to the new diagram, 1/146. There were minor
differences in the dimensions of the body compared to the previous diagrams,
but the most noticeable change was much heavier duty side bracing to the body.

At the same time the chassis received some updates. Heavier duty W-irons were
provided to hold the plain bearing axle boxes, the brakes were of the Morton
type with a single brake shoe applying to each wheel and the hand brake was of
the standard BR type length. These wagons became the ‘standard’ BR design with
just under 17,000 examples built between 1952 and 1959, with 11 contractors
and Shildon Works contributing 26 different lots.

Over the building period, there were naturally some changes. The 1955
Modernisation Plan also had an effect, with some of the later lots fitted with
roller bearing axle boxes and the fitting of vacuum brake equipment. There was
a change to a lighter style of end bracing in some of the later builds to
provide better placement of the vacuum cylinder, though sometimes not all
elements of the automatic brake were in place at the time of building.

The wagons in this pack represent the bulk of this diagram in original
unfitted condition with plain bearing axle boxes and the earlier type of end
bracing.
The dia. 1/146 HTO 21t Coal Hoppers Wagon Pack for Train Simulator includes
original pattern body in unfitted grey livery. It also includes the following
features:
* Four different weathering variations
* Loaded and unloaded versions with suitable physics
* Four different type of identification 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.
