The Hornby TT6061 TT 3-Piece Set of Open Freight Cars MDO 21T Mineral Wagon, BR, Era IV features three typical BR 21-metric-ton mineral wagons and is ideal for realistic freight trains from the British Rail era.

The BR 21-metric-ton mineral wagons were introduced between 1950 and 1960 and remained in service for many years. They transported coal, ore, and other bulk goods, making them among the most iconic open freight cars in British rail transport.

Set of 3 BR 21-ton mineral wagons for TT:120

The set features three BR gray 21-ton mineral wagons with the “Coal 21” TOPS code. The cars bear the different numbers B315885, B315893, and B315897, making them particularly well-suited for creating varied train formations.

The models are an excellent match for late-era steam locomotives or diesel locomotives from the British Rail era, such as Class 31 or Class 37. With cleanly executed sidewall details, a detailed undercarriage, and separately attached brake equipment, they create a harmonious appearance in a freight train formation.

Historical prototype of the MDO cars

The MDO cars were open, steel mineral cars with double doors and a 21-metric-ton load capacity. They were built between 1950 and 1952, initially with a total of 2,500 cars for BR.

The MDV and MDW variants followed later, resulting in a total of nearly 14,000 cars in this family of designs. Get the Hornby TT6061 3-Car Set MDO 21T Mineral Wagon and expand your TT:120 layout with three distinctive open freight cars for British bulk freight transport.
