However, as the UK transitioned away from using coal as the fuel for its power stations, the wagons became redundant and were re-employed on biomass trains, being recoded as IIAs in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe imposing wagons are reproduced faithfully in N scale using an injection moulded bodyshell, complete with interior partitions within the hopper, and hopper doors suspended from the underframe. Further details are added in the form of handwheels, lamp irons, buffers and separate pipe runs, and metal weights are fitted above each bogie for smooth and assured running. Those bogies are finely-moulded replicas of the prototype, fitted with metal wheelsets and with standard N scale couplings fitted into the NEM coupling pockets. Owned by VTG Rail but operated by GBRf, the real wagons had a bare metal finish which is replicated on the Graham Farish model along with GBRf and VTG branding. The outline of the former FirstGroup logos can also be seen, harking back to the time when the GBRf was owned by the group and operated as First GBRf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraham Farish N Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePristine GBRf (VTG) Silver livery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning No. 37706955218-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory Pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEM Coupling Pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 132mm (over couplings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Graham Farish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52968551711057,"sku":"377-575D","price":36.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/377-575d.jpg?v=1770161350","url":"https:\/\/www.jadlamracingmodels.com\/products\/graham-farish-377-575d-iia-bogie-hopper-wagon-gbrf-vtg-silver-n-gauge","provider":"Jadlam Toys \u0026 Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
