Steadfast Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Some of the Mendip ones got attacked by the spray cans before they'd even worked a service. They got done in London whilst stabled on part of the delivery journey. One has an interesting cartoon of a crocodile spraying some graffiti. It's a good cartoon, just a shame it's on a wagon not in a book. I can now confirm Mendip HOAs definitely have made it to Stud Farm, there's one at work that's been green carded at Stud Farm, so good for Midland Main Line modellers too!

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 6, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 6, 2017 I was surprised how clean and undented the wagons were - not even any graffiti! Cheers Ben A. Soon sort that - just park them up at Bescot overnight............... Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I've just realised how close we are to the end of the expressions of interest phase and that I hadn't got around to it yet. Duly corrected! Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted January 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2017 Thanks for the reminder Jo! As Jo says, expressions of interest in the N gauge HOA will end tomorrow (31 Jan). Interest to date has been fantastic and the project will be going ahead, but it is always useful to see which liveries people are most interested in as it allows us to make decisions on the number of livery options we can offer. Expressions of interest come with no financial commitment but we really do appreciate the information.

gedlee Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hi Ben & Mike Really glad the expressions of interest have been so positive. When do you anticipate opening the shop for orders? Cheers, Ged 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted February 14, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hi Ben & Mike Really glad the expressions of interest have been so positive. When do you anticipate opening the shop for orders? Cheers, Ged Hi Ged, Good question. At the moment we have been focussed on getting the Pendolinos into production, and preparing to close the order book for the 00 TEA tankers. However, we will be opening the order book for the HOA hoppers very soon, and hoping to show the first CAD drawings soon after. Thanks for the support. Cheers Ben A.

shanks522 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hello all, Was out and about in Tonbridge today and found a rake of various HOA's in the yard, handy for southern region modellers. Graham. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted March 2, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hello all, A favour: Does anyone have any shots looking right down into these wagons (when they are empty!) from above? We have a slight question mark over the configuration of the centre baffles/discharge doors and it would be helpful to see a photograph! Any help much appreciated. Cheers Ben A.

Steadfast Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Just stumbled across this online Ben, any use? https://wagons.smugmug.com/Trains/HOA/i-wvHDwbZ/O Further to our email yesterday, it was as IIA I snapped at Peak Forest, not HOA. Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted March 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2017 I've only got loaded shots from above but when the light nights return in a few weeks I'll make sure I photograph the insides of the empties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks522 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hi Ben, Just been through the 80 photos I took at Tonbridge and not one of the inside of an HOA, better luck next time! Graham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted March 2, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hi Paul, Thanks, those are really useful. As soon as I receive finalised CADs - hopefully in the next couple of weeks - I will put up some images here. Cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharrc20 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hi Ben, I didn't see anymore but not finished all of the camera folders yet although did find some IIA and HTA inside photos. I saw a rather poorly looking HOA in the sidings at Peak Forest the other day with no buffers or couplings at one end! Poor wagon. Cheers Paul Hi Paul, Thanks, those are really useful. As soon as I receive finalised CADs - hopefully in the next couple of weeks - I will put up some images here. Cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted March 5, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hi Paul Thanks for the pics you have posted. The layout of the internal strengthening fillets on the sides is particularly useful, as the drawings we have do not appear to show these. Maybe added during, or even after, construction and we do not have amended drawings. cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharrc20 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I must take more internal views of wagons from the bridge... I must take more... lol. Mind you not seen any HOAs being shunted into Cemex just lately mostly HTA rakes apart from the JGAs that turned up the other week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
