HORNBY: Following the closure of the Canadian Hornby importer in 2023 we have contacted Hornby numerous times to secure continued supply of Hornby products to supply our Canadian customers. Unfortunately Hornby steadfastly refuse to communicate with us. Regretfully we have concluded that Hornby has no desire to support the Canadian market. As stocks of Hornby products are exhausted we are replacing these products with products from other manufacturers.

The standard 16-ton mineral wagon was used in great numbers by British Railways in both fitted and unfitted (that is with vacuum brakes,) forms.

These all-steel wagons had largely replaced the earlier wooden planked wagons for the transport of coal and other minerals.

The former L.M.S. Railway produced the prototype wagon in 1945 and in 1947 production commenced at the Derby wagon works.

After the nationalisation of the railways the 16-ton wagon became British Railways standard design, and with few alterations, continued in production at Derby.

Various outside manufacturers also produce the wagon, with minor differences in construction and components, but to the same basic design.
