Four twin packs are available, with each pair having unique running numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe IIA-D biomass wagons were introduced in 2013-2014 with an initial fleet of 225 wagons being built by WH Davis for the transport of biomass pellets from docks to the Drax in North Yorkshire - the UK's largest power station. A further 30 wagons have since been built bringing the fleet to 255.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe hopper wagons maximised the volume available to transport biomass, which is much lighted than coal, and included roof covers as the material has to be kept dry at all times. The design incorporates four hoppers positioned along the length of the wagons while the body profile was created to use the full extent of the UK loading gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eOn introduction the wagons carried a silver base livery with green and blue 'swooshes' together with Drax Powering Tomorrow text with the livery wrapping across pairs of wagons. They are used to transport biomass from terminals at Liverpool, Immingham, Tyne, Redcar and Hull to Drax Power station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSince their introduction the wagons have been through livery changes, but the original Drax Powering Tomorrow scheme is still seen in train formations today mixed in with Northern Power House branded wagons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eHaulage across the years has included EWS and DB Cargo Class 66s while the GBRf Class 60 and Class 66 fleets are regulars on the trains. There have also been short distance movements at Liverpool Docks using GBRf's Class 56 56098 and Class 69s when traversing the docks branch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThese new and exclusive Hornby IIA-D twin packs each feature a pair of uniquely numbered biomass wagons.
