DJM Dave Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I am delighted to announce that DJModels have been awarded to contract to design and produce this much requested model in OO gauge for Kernow Model Rail Centre. Work has carried on apace in the 2 weeks since it was awarded to me, and an outline drawing of this wagon by my engineers in China ( as if the poor chaps don't have enough to do at the moment ;-)) has been submitted for various dimensional checks, and approved. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 More china clay traffic is always a good thing and these PBAs form an interesting contrast to Kernow's existing JIAs. Now, if only some of these lovely Kernow models were released in N gauge. You really must persuade them to invest in a shrink-ray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 This is good news and according to the Kernow advert they have extended the models being offered to cover the Tiphook blue livery as well as the Tiger Rail white livery, thus the new Tiphook JIAs with the ribbed lower sides will complement the existing curved side JIAs in blue or weathered finishes as well as the Tiger Rail PBAs in white and weathered finishes.

MRDBLUE17 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Good to see this wagon back on the agenda with Kernow and Dave and hope this goes well. I only need a couple for speedlink workings up North but its a distinctive wagon and I'm sure will do well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Wow Dave your output will soon be overtaking the big boys! Good luck with these and I'll be onto kernow to order some. Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black and decker boy Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Excellent . Just need scale bogie Grainflow \ Cerestar hoppers (not the shorty Polybulks) and Tullis Russell PGA hoppers and I can recreate my first exhibition layout and Speedlink trains in the Scottish Lowlands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonhall Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Dave I'm pretty conident that somewhere in my collection I have a copy of the painting diagram for the original livery - you may already have it from Andy Jupe, but if not ping me and I'll pop it through the scanner at work (assuming I can find it again).

RMweb Premium rprodgers Posted August 10, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 10, 2014 In blue livery the photos were actually taken in Bescot yard, Walsall, West Midlands* of a Tiger that had presumably been uncoupled from a clay train due to a mechanical if I can recall correctly about 1997 ECC Tiger 1.jpg ECC Tiger 2.jpg ECC Tiger 3.jpg ECC Tiger 4.jpg ECC Tiger 5.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub39h Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Did these run in block trains? I reckon I may be able to justify a few on my layout, but may be a bit expensive to get a whole train of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want some sets listed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shunny Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I remember the Tullis Russell train trip working from Thornton yard to Markinch would sometimes have just one of these and a brake van with a class08 on the front other times there would be a PAA included depending on demand. I just wish someone would do the Provincial liveried 08 that often ran towards the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivercider Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Did these run in block trains? I reckon I may be able to justify a few on my layout, but may be a bit expensive to get a whole train of them. Heathfield loaded one or two a day, and they were tripped from and to Exeter Riverside, where they connected with the Clayliner, which is probably the working Griffgriff saw. Here is the morning trip from Exeter Riverside to Heathfield, on this occasion the two empty clay tigers are attached to the front of a set of loaded tanks from Waterston to the Gulf Oil terminal at Heathfield, later that day a class 33 worked all the wagons back from Heathfield, 47097 passes Exeter St Davids en-route to Heathfield, 9/7/85. cheers Edited February 6, 2016 by Rivercider 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon I may be able to justify a few on my layout, but may be a bit expensive to get a whole train of them. The St. Blazey to Cliffe Vale run would be such a train. Plenty of photos around with at least ten in the consist. But, as others have suggested, smaller numbers were common in Speedlink trains. I have a photo somewhere of a 31 on the sea wall at Dawlish with just one in tow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 They were originally intended to run as block trains to ECC's terminal in Stoke (paid for with a Section 8 grant, IIRC), but later went on to also work traffic to paper mills in Scotland, and eventually, coupled with Polybulks, on the export clay trains via the Channel Tunnel. Apart from the obvious sources of clay in the South-West, they worked in ones and twos from the ECC ball-clay operation at Furzebrook, on the Swanage branch, which would have seen them travelling on Speedlink workings via Eastleigh.

As there a many drawings that have been available over the years in Railway Modeller etc .. how has the model ended up like this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
