Paul.Uni Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 NEW OO9 Ffestiniog Railway 2-ton slate waggons. The 2-ton capacity iron slate waggon depicted by our model is one of the most numerous types, with hundreds built and many surviving. As these waggons tend to run in long rakes, the models have semi-permanent close-couplings fitted in their NEM pockets. These can be pulled out with fine nosed pliers and replaced with conventional OO-9 hoop-and-loop couplings (supplied) at each end of the rake. We plan to make the close couplers available as a separate item in due course. Roughly one in five waggons was fitted with brakes. These were spread throughout the train and turned so the brake handles were all on the same side of the train, pointing towards Porthmadog on the Ffestiniog Railway. The waggons are being offered in two different sets: one with a selection of three unbraked vehicles, and the other in a set containing one braked and two unbraked. Each waggon carries its own specific markings and running number. The sets are made up with a random selection of running numbers. Each waggon is fitted with a removable slate load, which is conveniently hollow, thus giving the modeller the added option of including some further weight if required. ... Heading to shops and available from next week! Info from https://www.facebook.com/PecoModelRailways/posts/1525800497449472?pnref=story Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.Uni Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 According to the Ffestiniog Railway there are 12 different running numbers and they will be put in at random. https://www.facebook.com/festrailinsider/posts/1762971814020780 I can see it now, in the model shop "Got it. Got it. Need." and on here "I've got a double ABC, anyone got a XYZ that I can swap with?" etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chameleon Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Is there two versions of the enclosed coach? I see the fully enclosed coach described as First class. The one I have is marked as third. I have a set of all three (open, closed and guards). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.Uni Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 How are the running numbers of the Slate Waggons split? Is it a random selection of 6 in the unbraked pack and a different 6 in the braked pack or can all running numbers of the unbraked waggons appear in both packs?

RMweb Premium NaN Posted January 31, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2017 How are the running numbers of the Slate Waggons split? Is it a random selection of 6 in the unbraked pack and a different 6 in the braked pack or can all running numbers of the unbraked waggons appear in both packs? Looks like it's the latter - I've got two of the same number between my braked and unbraked pack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaymzHatstand Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The coloured bars indicated what quarries the waggons were working out of, as RhydDdu has listed. I'm very much looking forward to some more L&B carriages, as I don't fancy kit building and paint matching to the same standard as the Peco ones I have!

Cheers J Colour coded probably because although most Quarrymen were literate, some very highly so, in Welsh, few spoke or read English until after WW1. Ffestiniog Railway employees, like all railway employees, had to be able to read English to understand rules and regulations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted February 22, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2017 I can understand that colour coding wagons would make shunting quicker and easier but why would a quarryman or railway worker need to understand English to get wagons to the correct quarry? I don't speak Welsh but I can still see that Yr Wyddfa is a different place to Y Trallwng. Happy modelling. Steven B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2017 You can discern colours faster at a distance than lettering, (even before pc considerations a colour code is acceptable to all language speakers without offence).

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 29, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2017 Yes both were on show at ExpoNG as production finish bodies and should be on sale very soon as they are just finalising the interior mouldings production process. Hopefully around Warley they should be out if they can get enough stock ready for distribution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
