Tasked mainly with hauling coal and coke from collieries and coke plants to power stations and ports throughout Great Britain, they displaced older open wagons from such services and are regarded as precursors to modern ‘Merry-go-Round’ (MGR) coal hoppers. They ran from 1954 to 1987, and many survived into private colliery and power plant use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Accurascale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58449456923008,"sku":"ACC-ACC1019-HUO-U-PO","price":69.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/7_68cca445-a4a8-41bb-bab8-18124af4a652.jpg?v=1784040240","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/accurascale-acc1019-huo-u-po-pre-owned-acc1019-huo-u-br-24-5t-hop24-huo-coal-hopper-grey-tops-pack-u","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
