Agreed. Also British Fuels red box's could be seen in the same train with CPL distribution green box's in the early 2000s 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Markwj Posted March 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2019 Could do with one of those hattons formation guides, looked online for pics but not so many there that I could find.

With DRS they run to Crewe Coal sidings to Sellafirld and eventually Drigg LLW depository from Dungeness in Kent and Berkeley, Gloucestershire. They have also run to Hull docks before to take naturally occurring radioactive sources to Sellafield from North Sea oil. They are also used as barrier vehicles to spread the load of a train over bridges. On the Cumbrian Coast, they are places between each loco and between each KXA-C flask wagon between Barrow Marine Terminal and Sellafield. In Scotland (as mentioned above) they serve the same purpose on flasks to Georgemas Junction (for Douneray). https://www.flickr.com/photos/ricardo4eyes/29222599848/ They also come with various types of boxes that aren't impossible to scratcbuild or convert from a carwoods box. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ricardo4eyes/9764392251/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/75784477@N08/35259024482/ 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

159220 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Interesting announcement, I could be interested in a single DRS one - maybe two. And certainly if you are making gypsum containers separately, I would be interested. But, I have questions. Firstly, I cannot see the DRS PFA and container on your site? DRS PKA containers appear to come in three colours (grey, blue and red) with one side just pillars and the other with some plated boxes. The doors appear to be flush - Copyright andy jones flickr.com Copyright John McGowan flickr.com Copyright brel158701 flickr.com Secondly, are you making the 'modern' gypsum containers as seen below? These seem to get everywhere with GBRf. These would be the containers I would want separately, as currently you can only get them in a 3D print: https://i.materialise.com/en/shop/item/902c8cce-50e5-4ed5-9447-212e7db0ed03 Copyright Dan Adkins flickr.com 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DRS ones are there as ordered yesterday there are 2 packs with the half height low level waste containers and a triple pack of empty wagons. Hope that helps.

RMweb Gold McC Posted March 24, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2019 Yes, the site will show VAT or not depending on your location (outside the EU etc) In my screengrab, it's ex VAT, so for the Cawoods (and BF rake deals) you get 4 packs, or 12 wagons for £251.82 including VAT (and you get free shipping) meaning a discount of £27.98 off the list price of £279.80 That works out at just £20.99 per wagon, including a container 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
