The original steel mineral wagon was introduced by Graham Farish in 1070 and was one of the oldest models in the range. In 2005, Bachmann introduced their replacement which is seen here. It has a more detailed chassis with a tie-bar between the brakes, across the underside of the wagon. There is an end door as well as the drop-down doors on either side. The later also have swing-back doors above them to improve access if required. The model is in BR standard grey of the early years and carries the number B100083. This should be in the shops by late July.
