Description Branchline 33-436A POA Scrap Wagon 'Standard Railfreight' Blue & Yellow - OO Gauge The POA Scrap Wagons were built from new or converted from other, redundant types, during the 1980s to carry scrap metal. The open box design was loaded and unloaded using grab machines or electro-magnets and the wagons entered traffic in a bold blue and yellow colour scheme. Built by Standard Wagon and owned privately by Standard Railfreight, in 1990 British Rail purchased the fleet of 191 wagons upon which they were recoded as SSA under the Total Operations Processing System (TOPS). The Bachmann Branchline model boasts an injection moulded bodyshell with separately fitted ladders on either side. The chassis incorporates a heavy metal weight providing a low centre of gravity which, combined with the blackened metal wheelsets, ensures smooth and reliable running.
