Graham Farish N Gauge 373-811A 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.
