At the beginning of 2014 W H Davis introduced a unique enclosed hopper wagon designed to maximise the volume of Biomass that could be carried within the UK loading gauge from the docks to Drax power station. 83 70 0698 001 - 225
Design code IIE970. A second batch were built in 2023 83 70 0698 226 - 255
The attractive vinyl finish has been updated on some of the first batch but is biomass truly sustainable?
