## About This Content
The vehicles built to Diagram 1/146 formed the bulk of British Railways 21t
Hopper fleet. The vast majority of them were constructed with only a lever
operated hand brake, but the Modernisation Plan of 1955 called for stock to be
fitted with Automatic Vacuum Brakes. This process was slightly hampered with
hopper wagons, as there was no space under the chassis suitable for mounting
of the vacuum cylinder or the vacuum pipe. The solution was to mount the
vacuum cylinder on one of the end platforms and required a re-design of the
end supports to the hopper. Subsequently the vacuum pipe was fitted along the
top of the chassis, running through the gaps available in the side bracing.
Due to the large number of vehicles under construction by several builders,
the fitment of vacuum brake equipment was carried out somewhat piecemeal, with
some vehicles not receiving all the equipment when new to traffic.

The vehicles featured in this pack belong to the three final lots built to
Diagram 1/146. Lot 3158 from Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon, Lot 3159
from Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon and Lot 3160 from Hurst Nelson Ltd.
of Motherwell. Nearly all were built in 1958, with construction of the last
vehicles of Lot 3158 running into January 1959. When built, the hoppers all
had the full compliment of vacuum brake equipment installed and were fitted
with roller bearing axle-boxes.
Coded as HOP21 VB when new, these vehicles were painted in the standard
Bauxite scheme for fitted stock. A new style lettering appeared in 1964, with
the vehicle code, load weight, tare weight and vehicle number all grouped
together in a box displayed on the left hand end of the body. A decade later,
TOPS coded these vehicles as HTV.
