Steadfast Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 The current HTA hire ins seem to be working off Whatley. The previous set (18 months or so ago) worked off both quarries so could be seen in both quarries. Because of how the outers were (and are) utilised, it's common to see part JHA and part HTA sets Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_l_jones Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) So I posed the question regarding the tail lamps on the digest, answer is:- Hi. Just to clarify the questions re: tail lamps. the modeller will be able to choose which end the lamp is on and it will light accordingly.

lyneux Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) The five interior ribs look to be incorrectly spaced and the two outer ribs are not angled. Also the central bracing rib does not extend to the top of the wagon. I'm comparing to the Intercity Models kit. Anyone got a photo of the inside of a real one?

NIRCLASS80 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Also handled these today at DEMU show. Look impressive but the weight is substantial for a hopper wagon. Should be really nice runners. Sorry no photos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWT442 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Here's a couple of pictures of the JHA's today at DEMU. Look good, but was advised that there's some minor livery revisions to be done. These and the 59's are due later in the year, and was advised that the 59 *should* arrive a month or so after the wagons. Another run of JHA's with other numbers likely due this time next year. Did ask if an ARC specific wagon would be next, but seemed unlikely. However, there's quite the chance that the PTA could be next. Doable as an ARC & Yeoman liveried wagon as well as Iron Ore hoppers. Good choice I think! Also hinted that 59003 in GBRf livery could well feature in the next batch of 59's, with the loco specific modifications tooled up. And a 73/9 isn't out the picture, but maybe a few years away.

Winter123 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Excellent pics Andy. Thanks for sharing. I wasn't aware they were doing both variations of the Yeoman livery so that's great news as I'll probably go for a mixed rake. Good shout with the PTA also. The prehistoric Lima version still looks OK but a more accurate, sturdier version would be really good. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 O&Is look good from those angles. Come on Dapol, please shrink them! Is the wagon grey or silver though? I wonder if that could be a revision that's due? They do appear to have correctly got the original blue darker than the revised colour Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernMafia Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Just need them to make a wagon with each livery on one side only save me having to buy two rakes.... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Rich, It looks like the side might be able to be swapped to give you both liveries. Cheers. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyneux Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) End of Q3... hmmm. At least it looks like they have fixed the interior... better to have them correct but delayed! Guy Edited June 18, 2019 by lyneux Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter123 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 So now it looks like it's just the original livery. I'm confused after seeing the exhibition photos illustrating both. Does anyone know more about it? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
