Grimleygrid Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Absolutely! They usually look like this when I see them nowadays - as this viaduct runs across the bottom of my street - almost always behind a GBRf 66 and virtually impossible to tell the livery on many examples... [excuse the image quality...] P1110278 66764 - Copy.jpg Blimey, what livery is that?!! Looks like graffiti livery..... Does anyone know if the Brunner Mond JEA Bogie Limestone Hopper Wagons are much different to the Bardon wagons? They do look similar. They are probably very different and it is just me!

RMweb Premium ba14eagle Posted March 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2018 According to some of the Westbury drivers and shunters, the green / yellow Bardons looked good in the car park, on occasion! You need to do one with a squashed Skoda Estelle underneath it! Unfortunately, I can't find a photo of said incident online Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard60098 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Thanks, there are a few departmental wagons to consider. some interesting suggestions Richard. The PWA would be a good one, especially with opening doors! Hi guys, yes I've seen others have now mentioned the Bardon Aggregates too! A colourful interesting livery with other variants of liverys there after but it would be the mustard and green for me... wat a wagon those are love them well love anything aggregates tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the AI 271xx series JGAs? Yes they do look similar to the WH Davis Brunner Mond JEAs but not sure of dimensional differences. I would have to check the drawings and compare.

RMweb Gold Stuart A Posted March 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2018 Great to see a new manufacturer and also asking for ideas. I'm an N gauger, so my suggestions for N would be: PBA- Tiger Clay. There was talk of one from Dapol I think a long time ago though TEA- 100 Ton Cryogenic Tank Wagon In BOC Livery PGA- diag PG006A (different style to the old farish offering) Yeoman/ARC liveries VDA- but Bachmann must surely shrink this down from their OO one? JGA- RFS Industries type in RMC livery to complement the Bachmann and N Soc types PGA- diag PG005A in Peakstone livery, to complement the RMC hoppers. Also early ARC livery applicable. PAA- Grainflow covered hopper BBA- would complement the Farish BAA. Ex Chivers kit doesn't look like it's available anymore Any bogie aggregate wagons PTA/PXA/PHA Other's i'd have previously suggested such as PWA UKF van, and PHV ICI hoppers are available from Shapeways.

LongRail Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Good to see progress do yo know when we will start to receive the wagons? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 We are due to receive the painted samples in the next week or two to examine. Once we have looked at them and are happy that they meet our approval then we will be looking to make the production run. At this point due to the process of tweaking the model, paints and decals we can't nail down a firm date. There is certainly light at the end of the tunnel though and we will keep you all updated as always. We are pleased with the progress however and feel that these are exciting times for the project and Cavalex Models as a whole!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Latest update:The painted samples will be finished next week.It has taken a bit longer than anticipated but we wanted to make sure that the samples were as close to the production model as practically possible.It will be worth the wait! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Goldfish Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Very nice! Been so longer since I paid my deposit I can't remember the details, but did you take delivery addresses at that time or will that info be asked for later? My address should hopefully soon be changing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Sublime! I was initially concerned about how dark the green "L" was on the LaFarge branding, but put that down to less than flattering lighting/photography. C6T.

We really appreciate and encourage feedback. The painted samples are for us to review and get the factory to make changes ahead of production. Once we are happy, production can then begin. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trains4U Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Thanks to Cav and Alex for visiting today. I have to say, the models are absolutely stunning. Here are a few pics of the wagons from today. I think it is reasonable to say that this wagon is up there with the very best, and perhaps sets the new bar. The finesse of the design and printing means that these could easily be mistaken as O scale from the images. The wagon weighs in at a substantial 59g thanks to the zinc alloy chassis I believe it may also be the first 4 wheel wagon with a close coupling mechanism. There are a few minor details to be tweaked, but on the whole, this is an astounding first effot from Cavalex, and I’m very excited about obtaining my stock as they are sure to fly off the shelves. And of course Cav and Alex: 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
