## About This Content
1959 saw construction start on a series of four lots of vacuum braked wagons
to a brand new design and are the focus of this expansion. The wagons were all
built at Derby works between 1959 and 1961 and would eventually number some
165 wagons. With a carrying capacity of 50T the wagons were constructed from
riveted plates and had a considerable, instantly recognisable ‘fishbelly’
under-frame and rode on 8ft plate back bogies. A series of lashing rings were
positioned along the under-frame and handbrake wheels could be found at each
end. As fully fitted wagons they were naturally out shopped in fitted brown
livery.
There were two variations of BORAIL constructed with different types of
traffic in mind. By far the largest group were those 135 built to dia. 1/483
with 5 bolsters for the carrying of finished rail for fabrication or export. A
further 30 wagons were constructed using the same under-frame but without the
bolsters. These wagons were designed for carrying pre-stressed concrete beams
and had flush sockets on the deck to locate stanchions as required.
Although designed with two specific traffic uses in mind photographs show that
they were looked on as ‘handy’ for a number of other uses including carrying
vehicles. Naturally they were pressed into service to carry items longer than
other bolster wagons could handle without the need for runner wagons. However,
they also seem to have found a lot of use in carrying exceptional loads either
as spacers or for carrying the load itself. In some pictures the bolster
fitted wagons can be seen with their bolsters removed to carry alternative
loads including deck sections for the Humber Bridge.
The BRV 50T BORAIL EB/EC Wagon Pack for Train Simulator includes
* Clean and weathered freight brown livery
* Animated handbrake
* Randomised decals with overrides
* Randomised stanchions for empty versions
* Empty and loaded versions with suitable physics
* Rail and H-beam loads for the BORAIL EB
* Concrete beam and fabricated bridge beam loads for the BORAIL EC
The pack includes a user manual with further details about the rolling stock
and the customising of some of the features when using the wagons in
scenarios. To allow the formation of correctly marshalled trains a British
Railways dia. 1/506 vacuum piped 20T brake van is also bundled with this wagon
pack.
