RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted November 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 7, 2019 On 05/11/2019 at 11:27, Accurascale Fran said: Hi Danny, I'm good thanks, you? We will have stock of the PFA like we do with all our models. However, only pre-ordered PFAs will arrive by air in December, the additional stock will come by sea and arrive around 6 weeks later, so mid-late January, early February possibly. Cheers, Fran Hi Fran, Thank you for the reply. Glad you are well and I'm good too thank you. That's brilliant. I am really looking forward to the two DRS packs with the containers. I have certainly have plenty of locos that these can work with both now and in the future. At £140 for six wagons it's also really good value for money. Will you have plenty of spare stock when they arrive by sea in Jan/Feb? I ask just because I rarely pre-order items unless I think they are really likely to sell out before the main batch arrive, otherwise I end up forgetting about the models I have pre-ordered. Thanks in advance. Kind Regards, Danny. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we should have stock of them by then but I cannot guarantee it of course. Cheers, Fran Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clentoc Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hello all, I've just tripped over this on YouTube and as it features the PFAs at 07:56 I thought people would be interested. Great to see a video of them and a potential new livery. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Clagsniffer, The pre-order batch of PFAs are due to fly out of China on December 16th, so there is a very very slim chance they will arrive before the big jolly man in red arrives (and I dont mean me in my winter coat on the way home from the local!) It's more realistic to say that they will be with customers by the end of the month as our warehouse will be working from the 27th, postal system this time of year etc., but you never know. We will try our best anyway! Cheers, Fran 3 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrington Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 KXA and some of the taller containers for the DRS nuclear flows, as used currently and for the past few years, would be nice next additions to the range, with more DRS PFA numbered wagons to match. As nice as the DRS PFA low height containers are, I cant find any reference to them being used after 2015 as the traffic started using the taller containers around then. Hopefully, the next batch of PFA's might lead to some variations in loads. Hint, hint, no rush, Fran & Co. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 As much as I would like a KXA too, I can’t see them being viable to be done as they are very limited in operation. Mainly to the flows of imported waste from Barrow Docks to Sellafield. Of course there’s always rule 1! The new type FNA however could be an option as they operate in very short model able trains throughout the country and sometimes with a PFA with container of low level waste as well. Would certainly compliment what’s available and coming with the 37/6’s To add to Frans useful formations if you look at Flickr and put in the search, Trains Workington docks for example or Trains at (insert a Cumbrian coast locations Drigg, Maryport, etc) you will get loads of DRS workings come up with the PFA’s amongst them. I’ve spent many hours looking whilst researching for a future layout. cheers Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the plane landed yet? Hi Knitpick, They did indeed leave the factory on Monday on their first leg of their journey. Scheduled to fly to the U.K. tomorrow, then it’s customs, delivery to warehouse, strip down, check, pack, ship and delivery, all around the Christmas turkey! Our warehouse is open between Christmas and New Year, so we envisage delivery will be post Christmas, late December and early January. Still, they look good! Cheers!
