If you wanted a random rake you could mix with a standard accurascale pack. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 To be fair to Rails, this is an NRM branded exclusive not a general wagon pack so to appeal to collectors it should be something special like commemorating the first (or in this case first three) of an item. As Oliver says, mix it with standard wagons and there you go. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should rejoice at such problems... half the trainload wagons fleets I have are all running the same number. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted February 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Other wagon numbers are available ........... ! Regards, John Isherwood. Oh yes there certainly are...https://accurascale.co.uk/product-category/wagons/ Looking at the list I see 15 pre tops, 18 post tops.. so 36 unique wagons via Accurascale... http://djmodels.co.uk/?page_id=765 And 17 pre-tops and 17 tops from DJM.. you can have 32 and 35 wagons trains respectively all unique numbers. Mixing the 1st three wagons into this lot shouldn’t be that difficult. Modellers have never had it so good... don’t see much of a market for renumbering transfers on these wagons though, especially as this is just the first run...

Bishdurham Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 These are some of the nicest hoppers ever! Make my old Mainline 20T Hoppers look a bit poor. Now the question is do I weather them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
