Graham Farish N Gauge 373-811B HKA Bogie Hopper 'National Power' Blue

Graham Farish N Gauge 373-811B HKA Bogie Hopper 'National Power' Blue

The HKA Bogie Hopper Wagons originated from JMA Coal Hoppers, which National Power ordered in the mid-1990s. After being acquired by EWS, many of the JMA fleets were fitted with new bogies, and the resulting wagons received the TOPS code HKA – their use subsequently expanded to aggregate traffic too. These wagons form the prototype for this Graham Farish model, and the two variants – inner or outer wagons – can be modelled to suit individual needs in normal operation HKAs run in fixed rakes with only buffers and conventional couplings fitted to the extreme ends of the rake. Wagon-to-wagon coupling uses a buckeye, negating the need for buffers. The Graham Farish model can be configured as either; for an outer wagon, the rectangular buffers, drawbar hook and screw-link coupling are fitted into the appropriate buffer beam receptacles, while for an inner variant, the buckeye coupling and buckeye coupling lever is added.
