RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 2, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hi Grizz, I couldn't sleep last night and had a good read of this thread. I think what you are doing is great, well done. I am glad to see you are getting advice form Brian and Jon, even if they are bit of a double act when it comes to modern wagons. As for the wagon drawing book I was advised not to buy it, not because it was useless but might have been for me. Despite being a D&E modeller they are far too modern for me. Keep up the good work.

Marcoblanco Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 ok Grizz you sold it too me .. I will give my opinion of it here in due course. I heard it remarked that its good for peeps who are good at understanding the technical drawings.. 3 JNA so far. Transfers due this week .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcoblanco Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Transfers and paint this week. Observants will notice slight differences in the pattern ive done.. The one with walkways is not absolutely correct but then when are we modellers perfectly correct!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizz Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 The 'Modern Wagon Bible' in action. It makes it so quick and easy to build styrene wagon bodies. I usually start by making a prototype, this helps to step up the production batch building process later on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcoblanco Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 yes I've seen this.. do you need a 3d printer for them though ... ? I'm sure I've seen em on a ready to run wagon..? Anybody get hold of S-kits.. sent him email but no reply which doesn't bode you with confidence in sending off cheques and making orders... may as well wait to june and see him at the DEMU showcase - if he's there..

Fat Controller Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 yes I've seen this.. do you need a 3d printer for them though ... ? I'm sure I've seen em on a ready to run wagon..?

Check that you've the correct address for S-Kits; the one in the mags may be the old one. The new one is:- skitsinfo@btinternet.com .Others on here have placed orders in the last few weeks, and received the goods, so you should be all right. George does work shifts on a full-time basis, so there will sometimes between receiving messages and responding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizz Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Marco did the transfers arrive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcoblanco Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Yes for MRL yes. I discovered that there were/are some anomolies in the measurements of the ribs so I set about further research on the net and discovered that the newer JNA are of a smaller wagon. Mrl ones as on the Astra Rail industries site give scale drawings and these are the ones I shouldve modelled, so ive built 2 of these also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 13, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 13, 2017 A break from building to do some painting.. Large scrap JNA awaiting transfers. Hopefully arrive over the weekened I am not into modern wagons but today a train of Mendip JNA's rolled past me. Some had international markings, are they the same type of wagon as they looked the same? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcoblanco Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Yes I believe they are the same wagon. They are a silverish grey. Some have large MRL markings,some have small MRL motif. I havent seen any other JNA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Yes I believe they are the same wagon. They are a silverish grey. Some have large MRL markings,some have small MRL motif. I havent seen any other JNA. Similar wagons can be seen in a variety of other colours; yellow (Network Rail), bright red (DBC), dark blue (either VTG or GBRf) and dark green (Freightliner). There was a block train of about thirty of the DBC ones standing at Dolland's Moor last week, having arrived through the tunnel. The design's pretty much to the UIC norms for the EAOS type; here are some photos of various 'mainland' ones, showing the variety of differences (mainly doors) to be seen:- https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Eanos+wagon&espv=2&tbm=isch&imgil=393s6R87zU7gQM%253A%253B0l7F6PFDYjCFxM%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fcommons.wikimedia.org%25252Fwiki%25252FFile%25253AKiskunf%25252525C3%25252525A9legyh%25252525C3%25252525A1za_H-RCH_Eanos_5376_270-1_teherkocsi_2012-08-23.JPG&source=iu&pf=m&fir=393s6R87zU7gQM%253A%252C0l7F6PFDYjCFxM%252C_&usg=__YyA7zPRa0xDbgHLvJTtjLkZsgJk%3D&biw=1600&bih=780&ved=0ahUKEwjPz5mQ3abTAhUJJsAKHZBBDSkQyjcILg&ei=kzXyWI-6MInMgAaQg7XIAg#tbm=isch&q=Eaos+wagon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I just re-discovered a site dedicated to modern UK wagon photos. Here's a livery I'd forgotten:- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dan700/29590635992/in/album-72157671341530601/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizz Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Whats the Grizz workin on....Hi Marco, wow you built those additional wagons really quickly. It's all looking good mate, especially now you have the transfers. I have had to take a break from work and modelling to work on this...... here.......... Back to it soon though....... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcoblanco Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 arr chuff chuff... any Diesels..? Does anyone know where I can get the NACCO' motif tranfers from as I cant seem to find on the net... may make my own.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcoblanco Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 So I have tried to capture a worn look on these MRL JNA.. I will have to add some rust scratches when I work out a way to do it!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcoblanco Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 A couple of more..... image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg And a double headed 59! a double headed 59! just noticed that.. alas I think it was just an operational reason... theres no way a uk train would need 2 59s! I believe the shiny JNAs with the small MRL sign are very new, perhaps even this year..? I am constructing a few of the older type circa yr 2000 with the large MRL motif.
