Rail transport is well suited to the haulage of bulk loads over significant distances. BR developed new wagons in the 1970s, focusing on the efficient haulage of bulk loads, using higher capacity wagons to reduce the empty vehicle weight. Combined with new designs of frames and quick acting air brakes the new and longer 4-wheel and 100-ton bogie wagons can travel safely at higher train speeds, reducing transit time. An increase in wagon leasing by customers and traffic from Europe has also seen the reappearance of bright advertising liveries on many types of wagons.

Hornby OO OTA Timber Wagon (R6466)

New model for 2009. Expected 4th quarter.

The OTA timber wagons were convereted from the earlier air-braked open wagons, providing new rolling stock for the haulage of timber logs to paper mills. These air braked wagons could travel in the expidited Speedlink services, opening up many options for controlled forestery and renewable paper production in the UK.
