38-057A BR OCA Open Wagon (Ex-EWS) DB Cargo No.112230 - Weathered
The OCA wagons were introduced at the start of the 1980s, becoming British Rail’s final standard design for a general purpose open wagon with wide, low sides made up of three hinged sections etc. to allow all manner of cargo to be loaded and unloaded. Introduced at a time when general merchandise traffic was in decline, the type was soon redeployed to other areas like departmental use, or rebuilt as timber carriers becoming OTAs.
The Bachmann Branchline model features fine moulding throughout; from the bodysides and the representation of the doors on each side including hinge and securing chain detailing, to the interior and in particular the wagon floor with engraved planks and further moulded details. The chassis features an ensemble of brake equipment while each axle is mounted to chassis via a separate axlebox assembly, allowing a degree of pivot and rotation to ensure this long wheelbase wagon can negotiate model railway curves.

- Bachmann Branchline OO Scale
- Era 9
- Weathered DB Cargo (Ex-EWS) Maroon livery
- Running No. 112230
