TomScrut Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 My 2 EWS BLAs turned up today from KMS, I am very happy with them. The high end of the value for money scale but at first impressions look excellent wagons. I might well indulge on another if they don't disappear too quickly! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Lime Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Mine have just arrived from Rails (just a happy customer) and these look fantastic. They are a good weight, allow for a range of loads to be added and are versatile enough to fit into a range of (modern) eras. Looking forward to running these on Loftus Road at some time in the future and thank you to Cavalex for having the courage to produce these in the first place! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Thanks Harry feedback is always welcome. The BBA's have been around since the 70s so any 'modern' era is covered! Also looking forward to seeing them on Loftus Road! Edited December 23, 2021 by RBE 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mevaman1 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Mine have arrived from Rails. I am a very happy bunny. I have wanted to model decent length steel trains for a long time and these wagons enable me to do this. They are superb. Many thanks to all at Cavalex and Happy Christmas.

Going2theDogs Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Hi All, I have also received my BBA’s from Rails (including the 2 with the metals sub-sector branding). I spoke to Rails on Wednesday to confirm my pre-order & pay, They arrived the following day - exceptional service especially at this time of the year. Thank you Rails. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtybella Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 As an O gauge modeller I’m dribbling here how fantastic these wagons look, and dreaming of the day someone caters for us modern O modellers with these types of wagons… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris56057 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Very kindly received one of the EWS variants for Christmas off the good lady. Outstanding model, really impressed and happy with the detail. Is anyone able to confirm whether the model is meant to come with a screw link coupling/any pipework?

RBE Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Yes there should be a detail pack with screw links, NEM blanking plates, air pipes, metal deck stancions, and P4 brake calipers. If you haven't got them drop us an email and we will send you a pack. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krieghoff Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Just ordered 8 of the BBA's from three separate stockists.

Going2theDogs Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Hi All, Just following up on the most recent run of these superb BBA’s. Once again, there has been quite a lot of interest in the Railfreight versions with some versions already sold out. I would suggest, if you are contemplating acquiring some of these, act soon. Once they are gone, they are gone (until the next run anyways). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trains4U Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) We still currently have reasonable stocks of all versions though our exclusive Railfreight versions are down to about 40% remaining (after just 12 days) Edited December 30, 2021 by Trains4U Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
