THE construction of 46 new ‘Megabox 75’ open wagons by WH Davis will utilise bogies, braking gear and other components recovered from scrapped Freightliner Heavy Haul HHA coal hoppers.
Beacon Rail Leasing placed an order earlier this year with the company for the wagons, which will have a gross weight of 101.6 tonnes and a volume capacity of 75 cubic metres.
