This weeks release; https://www.armstrongpowerhous…on/mfa-mha-mta_wagon_pack
In the late 1990s, a large number of existing 4-wheeled wagons were rebuilt for use in engineers trains to replace the existing vacuum braked fleet. These consisted of 135 MFAs (cut-down MEAs), 1000+ MHAs (existing HAA underframes with two variants of new body) & 396 MTAs (one variant using existing TTA underframes with new body and another a cut-down version of the MKA with high-ends).
All of these wagon types with their relevant variations are included in this pack. In reality, these wagons are used interchangeably which makes for some varied looking consists.
What is included?
MFA wagon (4 liveries)
MHA wagon (2 variants & 2 liveries)
MTA wagon (2 variants & 2 liveries)
Weathered variants
Empty/loaded versions with realistic physics
3 loads (new ballast, old ballast & sand)
Prototypical sounds as featured in our Wagon (4 Wheel) Sound Pack
Flashing tail lamp

This weeks release; £4.99 https://www.armstrongpowerhous…agon/mea-pna-f_wagon_pack
Constructed from the early 1990s to 2004 using existing HEA underframes, 641 MEA wagons in total were produced. Primarily used for the transportation of coal, they have in more recent years been used with a wider variety of loads such as scrap metal and sand. At the time of writing in 2022, these wagons can still be seen in use on the national network.
Using existing TTA underframes, 250 PNA-F wagons were constructed during 1998 & 1999 to assist in the replacement of the existing vacuum braked fleet and could be found on engineers trains. With the arrival of newer wagons in 2008, the wagons fell out of favour with the entire fleet being put into storage at Long Marston by the end of the year. In the mid to late 2010s, they had a brief resurgence with DCRail on ad-hoc workings but by the end of the decade, all were either scrapped or back in store.

A little late, but this weeks release £4.99 https://www.armstrongpowerhous…on/mka-poa-zka_wagon_pack Used to work these wagons to Inverurie with lime in the late 80's
In the late 1980s, a number of TTA wagons were re-bodied to create POA wagons for the carrying of aggregate by ARC and Foster Yeoman. By the very early 1990s, they had become a general use wagon transporting a variety of loads such as coal and scrap metal.
In 1993, 180 POAs were purchased by British Rail for use in engineers trains. They were reclassified as ZKAs and had holes cut in the sides to ensure the wagons were not overloaded. At a similar time, Loadhaul acquired 36 POAs which were used for carrying coal and reclassified as MKAs. Upon EWS taking over Loadhaul, they were merged with the existing ZKA fleet for engineers trains and had holes cut in the sides accordingly.
By the mid to late 2000s, most ZKAs had either been converted to MTAs or scrapped/stored.
