British Rail MGR Hoppers and Derivatives v3

This is a replacement for my old HAA hopper v2 mod, it will subsequently be removed from the workshop, savegames will not be affected if the mod is removed.

The HOP-32 series of wagons were first introduced in 1965, with the prototype, 350000 being built at Shildon in 1964. They were intended to replace the aging fleet of pre-BR stock including the likes of MCVs. 11159 of these high capacity wagons were built between 1964 and 1982, and there have been multiple versions and adaptations, most of which are included in this pack. Of the 11159 produced, only a handful of examples remain.

In 1986, BR elected to replace the obsolete wood 'Clayhood' UCV/OOV wagons on local China Clays service to Fowey Docks, as ECC had no intention of purchasing their own fleet of wagons. After experimenting with converted HAA wagon 353224, 124 brand new wagons were built by BREL Doncaster in 1987 and entered service in 1988. Aside from the roller-roof, blue paint on the support framework, a non-stick coating applied to the interior and the ECC logo, the CDA was basically the same as existing HAA stock on Coal working and CBA stock on Lime working. A further 14 wagons would be delivered in 1989, rebuilt from surplus HAA wagons. All HAA wagons converted into CDAs, including the Prototype, were placed into storage by EWS in 2004, and five further wagons were withdrawn by 2008. Only the Prototype, 353224, has been preserved.

Over 1000 HAA wagons donated their chassis for conversion to MHA open wagons, these will be uploaded at a later date.

HCA, HDA, HMA and HNAs have been omitted, due to their similarities to other variants and as the real world differences do not mean anything in game.

Note: I have recently discovered the CBA lime wagons, they will be made and released into this pack in the near future.
