stationroad Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Are there any plans on another run? Ultimately, I would like 12 more Cawoods with different numbers, but will likely crack and order another set from this batch. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Richy59 Posted February 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2020 Got my triple pack of the DRS Nuclear Waste wagons, very pleased after I missed out on the PCA Castle wagon runs. Only got one o fthem out the box for a quick look but very good looking, and nicely detailed. First Accurascale product and very much looking forward to the Mk5s and 37s later in the year. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rembrow Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Great service from Accurascale yet again. Ordered a couple more PFA sets (British Fuels and Gypsum) on line from Accurascale yesterday lunch time, no P&P charged. Received despatch advice in a couple of hours and the package was at Peterborough Royal Mail late yesterday, so expected with me tomorrow. Don't know if it's been covered before, but have Accurascale now got a UK distribution centre as my last 3 orders were picked up by Royal Mail in the Peterborough area. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnfromoz Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Noticing that Hattons are now stocking Accurascale, I picked up the last DRS half height container set the other day. Researching the history of these, I was struggling to find images of the 68s hauling these red half height ones which seem to have gone out of use 2015/16? I guess as the 68s came in around 2014 there would be a window of 18 months or so when 68 haulage would be feasible? Happy to be corrected on this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the re-branding of some containers from around 1996 was in preparation for a further spin off of the Cawoods business as a management buyout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shedmaster Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi All, Good Evening, Just a line to say I've had some of the Stewart's Lane Fleet out working today, undertaking haulage trials with 45 x Accurascale PFA wagons! 60 036 'GEFCO' handled these without ANY issues whatsoever, the wagons riding perfectly when hauled or propelled. I did take some video but the file size is way too big to upload., apologies! Our Dapol 73 101 'The Royal Alex' also had a go with all 45 vehicles and would have managed more, if we had them! Overall, these wagons are seriously impressive, unlike the clowns working this particular train today.... Who managed a quite spectacular collision by running a Nuclear Flask train right through the middle of the PFA's whilst crossing it's path! The crashworthiness of the Accurascale product, despite all that exquisite detail, is simply, outstanding! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted February 25, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2020 Retailers still have the Cawoods but stocks do seem to be running low. If you want some I would get them now. I picked up an extra pack from Rails at the weekend. I was going to wait but I reckoned I would miss out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were definitely still running by rail in 2016. IIRC they are still in use but mostly by road now, rail seems to be used for more exotic (and less standardised) containers now.
