Converted from redundant bulk coal and, latterly, biomass hoppers, the shortened HYA wagons were created predominantly for the aggregates market and can be seen carrying stone from quarries to terminals across the country.
Accurascale’s second production run of HYAs will feature details to reflect the parentage of the donor wagons, including surplus IIA biomass hoppers. Seven different twin-packs are in development, depicting wagons turned out by WH Davis in a fetching blue livery, carrying the branding of leasing companies VTG and Touax, as well as GB Railfreight.
