Cutdown HYA - With NACCO Branding and Graffiti (Pack 1)
Among the first batch of Romanian-built coal wagons delivered in March 2007 for First GB Railfreight, No. 371020 lasted just over ten years in this configuration before emerging from WH Davis at Langwith Junction in late 2017 with one fewer hopper bays and now dedicated to aggregates traffic.This was part of the third group of 36 HYA/IIA vehicles to be converted following batches for VTG/GBRf and Touax Rail, and like the latter retained their unpainted finish above the bodyside angle, with ‘ghosted’ former branding and the vestiges of graffiti from their previous life. The only addition was a large NACCO logo. These went into service for GBRf on Cemex services from Peak Forest to a range of locations, including Bletchley, Ely, Hope St (Salford), Selby, Washwood Heath and Wellingborough, and have also been used occasionally on the dredged sand flow from Pengam to a similar range of destinations.As other HYAs were converted with Cemex branding, the majority of the NACCO wagons were redeployed, although a few have remained, including No. 371020. This wagon is notable for gaining full length/height graffiti in either late 2019 or early 2020 on both sides that makes it stand out immediately in any formation. This and its partner – pristine No. 371048 – are the perfect complement to our first run HYAs or the Touax and GBRf-branded blue hoppers in our second run.
