We are really pleased with how well received the BBAs have been. Thanks to all those that have supported this project. There's a reason they've been well received, its because you've done a top job on them! ... ... keep producing things like that and I'll keep having space for some on my layout! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Cambrian BBAs with steel blooms made of plastic and painted / weathered so might do the same with these, or possibly steel coils laid eye to sky... I always knew that if I built enough Cambrian BBAs, a RTR one would appear. John Good evening John, Glad to hear that you are pleased with your BBAs. I share your sentiments about a RTR BBA appearing, I have a few Cambrian BBA kits which are yet to be finished..... The above was taken some 10 years ago with no progress since!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hi Alex/Cav, I realised I never posted here when I received my BBA’s. Too busy chatting on messenger with Will so you’ll no doubt already know my thoughts on how good these wagons are. So glad that I ordered these when you announced them, and as someone has said on here, even the high quality photos you posted don’t do full justice to the detail you’ve incorporated. The mesh deck is superb but it’s all the detail underneath you don’t appreciate until you have the wagon in your hands. The pipe work is excellent and those bogies really are a clever bit of design, brake disks on all wheel faces is a very nice touch as are the brake callipers. I only had chance to pose one on Morecambe and yes the big layout needs to get finished so I can run them all with the 37’s up front. Thank you both for doing them. all the best Mark 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mevaman1 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 My BLAs have arrived from Rails. As Mark has indicated above, these are fantastic models. The underframe and bogie details are amazing. Seen here on the rare hot rolled coil train to Par Docks! 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that, I have had no email confirmation from Rails on my last order - normally get it within seconds (placed yesterday). I wonder if they have IT problems?

66738 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Aggghhh! I was out and missed the delivery. Going to have to wait until tomorrow now before I can get my hands on my Rails BBA packs A and B. Edit: Went to the post Office just on the off chance they had already got there, and they were. Amazing chaps. I love the slight differences in variation. 66738 Edited September 10, 2020 by 66738 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Got my Rails Exclusive BLA's (x2 packs B & C) and yes they are superb, can't get over the fine pipe work underneath the wagons which is really pushing the bar even higher in regards to detail not to mention the wheels/bogies as well. Absolutely fantastic wagons & great job Cavalex, looking forward to your TEA's now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted September 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2020 I got my Rails BBA packs earlier this week to supplement my Cavalex order. I think I have enough BBAs Looking forward to the TEAs and PFBs from Trians4U. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted September 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) I have to admit these were not my particularly on my list of things to get, not sure why as they are perfect for my modelling era. Anyhow, I got quite jealous seeing all the photo as I have a thing for fine detail! Now have 5 on order and on their way to me. Well done from me chaps - looking forward to them. Edit: and it made me order some TEAs. Roy Edited September 10, 2020 by Roy Langridge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good evening Classy52, these PGA wagons were withdrawn from service last year and so unfortunately are no longer running today. Hope that helps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Andy7 Posted September 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2020 I received my 6 BLA wagons yesterday and have half weathered 3 of them already. Really nice wagon and comes alive with some grime. Next is some powders, Matt varnish and airbrush weathering to the lower half. Will have a nice rake of 14 wagons with my Accurascale JSA wagons. Going to look great behind a DB 60. Great job Cav and Alex. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
