ACCURASCALE CLAYHOODS ANNOUNCED

Accurascale have just made their first announcement for 2025 - an iconic piece of china clay transport history, the BR Diagram 1/051 'Clayhood' wagons! Accurascale are able to reproduce these wagons from when they were first built, across various modifications right up to the point of withdrawal - thanks to an extensive tooling suite.

The models are to be supplied in triple-packs, with 12 different options available. Decorated samples have been revealed today and we expect the final models to arrive with us in Q4 2025.

PROTOTYPE INFORMATION:

BR built a total of 875 of these wagons across several batches from 1954 up until 1960. These wagons were built to compliment and eventually replace the GWR O.13 clay wagons that were nearing 40 years old at the time. To be compatible with existing China clay infrastructure, the wagons are dimensionally similar to their predecessors and featured a 9ft wheelbase. Although associated with China clay, this wasn’t all that was carried in this fleet of wagons, ball clay was also transported. Tarpaulin sheets were added to the wagons to keep the precious cargo dry resulting in the familiar name “clay hoods”.
