Description
Step into the world of modern British freight with the IIA(F) Tanpps Wagon Pack – a highly detailed and realistic recreation of GBRf’s distinctive sand hoppers for Train Simulator Classic. Developed by rising talent Marius, this add-on brings to life the unique wagons that serve the historic sand quarry at Middleton Towers.
As older 4-wheel PAAs were phased out, GBRf commissioned 41 new bogie wagons based on the IIA-B and HOA-B designs. The result: the IIA-F, a UIC Tanpps variant, purpose-built for hauling sand across the UK rail network. Now a regular sight along the East Coast and the Fens, these wagons are typically seen paired with Class 66s and the newer Class 69s.
