One of the more striking liveries they carried in service was the 2 differing styles orange and grey the Charringtons coal concentration depots. Many of these wagons were fitted with vacuum operated disc brakes and ran a dedicated service between Mansfield and Palace Gates delivering house coal to the capital. Another livery variation was the bauxite \u201cfitted\u201d wagons bearing the \u201cHouse Coal Concentration\u201d lettering on their sides.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>As BR shifted away from vacuum braked wagons and moved towards the HEA hopper for domestic coal supply, the HTO\/HTV wagons were withdrawn, sold or repurposed. Of those that were sold, many went to the NCB for internal use or private companies such as ICI.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accurascale have announced a newly tooled range of 21 ton HTO &amp; HTV hopper wagons in OO gauge!
