Ed-farms Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Has anyone fitted working lights to these 2 models yet? I want to have mine fitted with lights and sound for DCC operation but there is no lighting kit out there for a 20 with discs and a high intesnsity headlight.

vac_basher Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 These look nice I would have liked to have these on my layout, but unfortunatly for me the livery is slighty after the era I model. If only they'd done them without the Chapman scripts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

backwaterscotland Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Thanks Andy for mentioning this. I had hoped they would have emailed me about these as I purchased the 20's. Their information on these packs hasn't been quite as described - according to the description of the 20 pack : We will in future release a matching wagon pack of TTA tanks and a matching coach pack representing the full weedkilling train. Details of these packs will be sent to customers who purchase this Class 20 pack. But there seems to have been no communication about either of the two packs and the first one has arrived! I wonder if the plan was good but executing it for the 500+ buyers just didn't work out (I also wonder if they planned a mailshot with both the coach and tank packs on it but, since details of the coach pack are a little thin (read non-existent), the mailshot was shelved?)

Ed-farms Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 My tanks arrived today - only got the email to say they were posted last night Cornwall to Durham in 24 hours is good. Now where are those coaches to go with them Kernow? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILLIAM Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I sent an email to Kernow's to see if there was any news on the associated coach packs. Got the usual prompt and helpful response: We will have news about the coach pack in due course, as our intention was always to spread the release dates to allow people time to save for each pack. It will probably be sometime next year and we will of course announce it on our newsletter and website in due course. Looking forward to next year then!

Looking at a video online there is 4 coaches in the set so you arew probably talking about £100 for the set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwaterscotland Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 I sent an email to Kernow's to see if there was any news on the associated coach packs. Got the usual prompt and helpful response: We will have news about the coach pack in due course, as our intention was always to spread the release dates to allow people time to save for each pack. It will probably be sometime next year and we will of course announce it on our newsletter and website in due course. Looking forward to next year then! Since there has been no news on the coach pack for some 18 months I emailed Kernow this morning and got the following reply : We are still planning on doing the pack but have no more details at present. Please keep an eye on our adverts and weekly newsletter for any news in this respect. So it doesn't look like anytime soon - I've been putting off doing the coaches myself while I wait to see what Kernow come up with but it looks like some coach kits and conversions might be on the cards.

Poindexter Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi Could any of you please enlighten me as to when these locos were in service as they are depicted in the Kernow release? They seem to have been in service quite a while but not with the extra decals on. I have had a look at photos and can't put a definite time frame on it. What I really want to know is can they be run on a late BR layout? Many thanks Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Guy, I have photos without extra writing 27/5/91 and with 12/07/92 (white letters Nomix-Chipman) & 26/04/93 (can't be certain which colour) & 04/09/94 (black letters Nomix-Chipman). Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poindexter Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Thanks for that Paul. It gives me a idea of times in that livery. Next up. If Kernow did a coach pack could you assume that it will be the grey ones as opposed to the green ones and as such would depict a weedkiller train front the South of England and South Wales as opposed to North Wales Northern England and Scotland? I am working on the assumption that the pics I have see appear to suggest this. Course I know Nowt about these train formations, just trying to piece it together.

Cheers Guy Hi Guy, The 20/9's were allocated to the north or south area trains. 20901/4 were usually on the southern area "grey" one and 20902/903 on the northern "green" one - to use your descriptions. The grey one was operated by Nomix-Chapman and contained an ex-SR bogie GUV's - have a search for Horsham/Nomix/Chapman. The Schering/Agrevo train was formed of (in some case, substantially) converted Mk1's (no doubt the limited edition will be painted green and that'll do) 20905/906 were the spare locos and used as required. (I have a vague plan to do 20902/905 on the Agrevo train using Hurst Models etched sides) Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyddrail Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Guy, The added writing was with the grey livery coaches (previous livery was green but not the Schering green). But for part of this time the old SR van spray coach was used before being replaced with the Mk1 replacement spray coach. I understand Kernow will be doing the Chipman coaches as the locos and tanks are numbered and marked for the Chipman train. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed-farms Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 For those who cannot access Facebook (including me now at work but I read something on Facebook last night) it was along the lines of "When the last of the few remaining tanks go, the coaches will be done", hopefully soon.

Poindexter Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Cheers Andy, thanks for the quick reply. Wish I had bought a pack when I had the chance. Some on eBay for £60! Be cheaper to get some painted! Especially as most pictures seem to show 3 tanks. Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
