Farish 377-615A MXA ‘Lobster’ Bogie Open Wagon DB Cargo

N Gauge Graham Farish377-615A MXA ‘Lobster’ Bogie Open Wagon DB Cargo Brand new item from our new Yorkshire Model Railway shop.The MXA ‘Lobster’ Wagon is the latest modern freight vehicleto join the Graham Farish N scale rolling stock fleet. Whilst the MXAs onlyentered traffic in the last decade, their true past is much longer as they werecreated by fitting a new steel box atop redundant Bogie Bolster wagon frames –some of which date back fifty years or more. Built for DB Cargo and usedprimarily for engineering work, DB has continued the tradition of givingaquatic code names to engineering wagons by calling the MXAs ‘Lobsters’.The skeletal nature of the frames used for these wagons isevident on the Graham Farish model, on top of which is the industrious new boxwith its ribbed sides and ends. As is to be expected with modern wagons, thereare numerous safety warnings, labels and instructions along with the DB logoand TOPS information, all of which is reproduced crisply and authentically, astark contrast to the vibrant red bodywork. A full complement of underframeequipment is present, as are turned metal buffer heads, whilst the Y25C bogiesare fitted with metal wheelsets and NEM coupling pockets to ensure these modelsrun as well as they look. This particular model depicts a wagon fitted withtraditional brakes, as evidenced by the presence of brake shoes and hand brakelevers. MODEL FEATURES:
