Hi

Can anyone please tell me where the HDA version of these MGR wagons ran in the UK as I am after buying some but do not know much about them other than they were early 80s builds. Thanks

Welcome aboard. Went to Locomotion Shildon a couple of months ago, and saw the Shildon built HDA privately bought for exhibition. If I remember the information correctly, they went wherever replacements were required for HAA's worn out in MGR service; thus on all the MGR circuits.

Thanks plus would they have worked in a full rake of 36 or mixed with HAAs. Thank you

I have no detailed knowledge but my understanding is 'mixed' with examples of all the various builds of wagons for MGR working.

There's an old thread on this site in which a railwayman, 'Bear 1923' has posted, and that will give you an idea of how these wagons were mixed up.

What are MGR/HAA etc. wagons ?

Ok, I'm trying to build up some rolling stock but quite confused as to what all the wagon acronyms and names mean and are used for ! Is there any website that illustrates what the various letters mean ?, I assume it's something similar to aircraft, e.g. the F/A-18 is a fighter/attack of the...

HAAs built in the late 60s were brown livery until around 1980ish. They then got painted into rail freight red. In 1982 ish a new batch of MGRs were made with special air brake systems on them. These were called HDAs. In the early to mid 90s some MGR wagons became different HFAs I think with side canopies . Anyway this the the basic differences. They became a different code when EWS took them over. I’m sure other will help out here

Hi SS,
Have a look at Post No 10 and click on the "www.modelrailforum . com", it links to the website 34C was referring to.
