Pre-orders open for new Accurascale PTAs
Accurascale has shared plans for a second batch of models of its Redpath Dorman Long-built PTA/JTA/JUA bogie iron-ore/stone tippler wagons for 'OO'. Pre-orders at TMC are open, with delivery expected in Q2, 2026, in new liveries.
These characterful wagons were built in three batches by the British Steel subsidiary Redpath Dorman Long from 1972 for transporting iron ore to Consett, Llanwern, and Ravenscraig. |

The tough-looking tipplers stood out further with attractive liveries and rode on distinctive BSC ‘Axle Motion’ bogies. They soon became a favourite of the enthusiast as they became synonymous with the heaviest trains on the British Rail network.
The Port Talbot to Llanwern trains saw 27 British Steel PTA tippers triple-headed by Class 37s, before the introduction of pairs of the then new Class 56s on 30 wagon trains.
Wagon leasing company VTG took on rakes of JTA/JUAs in the mid-2000s and they were used on spoil trains as well as sand and sea dredged aggregates until withdrawal.
