Garethp8873 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) A wagon I very much welcome. Just now need to get one relivered into LNER livery Edited January 24, 2016 by Garethp8873 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Harrison Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm tempted to get one of the North British liveried ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Accord Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I may well get a couple of each, very nice to see some Scottish prototypes for a change. Now they just need to produce something appropriate to haul them.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp8873 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Great to see the range of RTR PO wagons starting to slowly expand outwards now. On the subject of the North British version, would this happen to be diagram 1 or 16B? If so I can see a few going into LNER livery. Happy to now be slowly expanding my collection of Scottish rolling stock...!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted January 24, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yep think I'm up for collecting these. Are they mainly NB prototypes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp8873 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yep think I'm up for collecting these. Are they mainly NB prototypes? Looking LNER Wagons Vol. 3 I'm sure the North British version is SSA diagram 16B. I cannot be 100% sure though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLPG Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Great surprise this morning to see all these new models. Great to see more LNER region models. Thanks Oxford Rail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad McCann Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm not sure this range will be as uncoordinated as this first tranche of releases might suggest. I suspect interesting developments are afoot that we are as yet unaware of where Oxford are concerned 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad McCann Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Wonder if they will cover the Scottish Trader variants with cupboard doors? Pretty much signature equipment on pre-1930 Scottish metals. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'm not sure this range will be as uncoordinated as this first tranche of releases might suggest... I do hope you are correct! There's a very pretty preserved loco candidate for a model that is appropriate to this wagon. I think it might be much the same size and share a wheelbase with the Dean goods even, and also have shared in the WWI adventure. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardian Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Pre-grouping wagons. This just gets better and better. Edited January 25, 2016 by Edwardian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp8873 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Pre-grouping wagons. This just gets better and better. Seeing pre-grouping wagons appear in higher positions on the Wishlists does makes me hope that the RTR companies will take note of what the railway modeller wants to see more of. Also I hope we'll see some Scottish locos and carriages follow up soon as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrel Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I will be getting a few of the north British livery wagons, they will match the second hand kit built one I found in a well known market in Glasgow. A nice Scottish loco or two would go well with these. MAUDE or a Glen for example Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp8873 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) I am going to pre-order two and once they arrive they will be going into LNER pre and post 1936 liveries. Having seen a photo of one in 1946 in post 1936 livery and also a photo of one still in NB livery down in Bromley, London in 1933 is a good enough reason for me Also I've got a few of the 4w North British Vans and one of the 6w Vans so this would go along very nicely in a rake of North British themed stock...

BG John Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Did they find their way to private owners down south? I've got a Parkside Dundas O Gauge one that's similar (the same?) and think I read somewhere they were sold throughout the UK. I'm especially interested in the early 1900s. Were there similar designs it can be converted to? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were there similar designs it can be converted to? I've only ever seen the LNER livered versions appearing down south so far. As I mentioned previously in the LNER Wagons Vol.3 there's a photo of one of the North British 4 plank wagons still wearing it's NB livery down in Bromley in London. As for Private Owner versions I'll let someone who knows more on PO wagons answer that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Harrison Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I've pre-ordered a four planker. £9.50 from a certain Liverpool box-shifter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeharvey22 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I've pre-ordered a four planker. £9.50 from a certain Liverpool box-shifter. Would that be a box-shifter called Hattons now moved near to Widnes, with new retail premises? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG John Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) A quick bit of Googling hasn't come up with anything very useful, and I really would like to know more about these, and similar, wagons, and where they appeared or might have appeared. I won't be able to resist buying one and doing this to it though (although it may be in a more southerly fictitious livery)! http://www.buckhaven.info/assets/images/ba_1_b.jpg (From http://www.buckhaven.info/html/private_owner_wagons) Edited January 27, 2016 by BG John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted January 27, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) These look to have been very robustly built wagons so I'm wondering if some might have ended up in departmental use to extend their careers by a decade or three, possibly into early BR days?

Mad McCann Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Not so far away either from the looks of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
