If anybody else want to go onto the list can you please pm me as it is easier for me to keep track of who is who then and it doesn't clog up this thread unnecessarily. Don't forget I have a separate thread covering the build for this one here:- https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/160403-apcm-bagged-cement-van-in-4mm-scale/ Ian Link to post Share on other sites
RBAGE 820 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 We've seen images of the prototype PVV, in revenue earning service in this thread as well as of the fate of most of their number. I shared a couple of views of the underneath of these vehicles, in preservation but I thought I should share some of the photographs I have taken of the 2 preserved wagons, taken during the last couple of years. Prospective modellers might be interested as it's difficult to go and have a look themselves. These are at the Aln Valley Railway, in Northumberland and at the Somerset and Dorset Railway Trust at Midsomer Norton, Somerset. I'll post more on the thread, posted to demonstrate the kit currently in preparation. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tappa 52 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hugh Millington's site is also worth a look at vans that are out of service in 1986. APCM vans The site is worth a look for all the other wagons as well. Jeff 3 Link to post Share on other sites

RBAGE 820 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) To whom it may concern, I finally have my six vans built and painted. Next job is to apply decals and then decide the condition they will run in. Any images I can find have them shining like the proverbial toilet door, circa 1964. I wonder how they faired in terms of upkeep? Did they very quickly weather to a more pleasing condition? What we need is someone with experience in the cement industry and who now makes wagons dirty for a living. Do we know anyone who fits that MO? Ha'way Mick, get them built and let's see how you weather them. Edited April 19 by RBAGE More than one van has an "s" at the end. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RBAGE 820 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) It's a thing to laugh at Mick. I was hoping for more of a response than a snigger. I was expecting a "stand easy Bage", "it'll be on my Blog, very soon". Whatever a blog is. Edited April 19 by RBAGE Declaring my ignorance of technology. Link to post Share on other sites

Ha'way Mick, get them built and let's see how you weather them. There's a colour photo of BV 007 in 'British Railway's Goods Wagons in colour' by Robert Hendry. It was taken in 1976 at Gloucester station. The vehicle is quite heavily weathered, though all inscriptions are legible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Sunderland 815 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 An etched kit from Ian McDonald (McGeordie on here) is, I believe, shortly to be available. If it’s even half as good as his other kits it will be a cracker. As John Isherwood says, transfers are already available from Cambridge Custom transfers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

From a distance, with poor photography, I can maintain my coveted "less than average modeller" status. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So, if I can come up with a restrained version of this it my reflect the late 1960s. They haven't done a very good job on this one. You can seeall the brush strokes. Link to post Share on other sites
