slg Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I have pack C only and noticed that it was completely wrong as none of the wagons in the pack have the Railfreight symbol on them even when the art work shows that one from each pack should have it applied. All the wagon numbers however match those printed on the product labels on the end of the boxes but as classy52 says not the same running numbers as advertised on their website.

My two packs are all over the place as detailed in my previous post, emailed Rails thus trying to sort this out and hopefully they haven't dispatched Pack A without checking the contents first plus I already have 2 wagons from Pack A, but it looks like I may not be the only one in this situation. I don't mind if the running numbers had changed and Rails forgot to update their advertising but everything else is just weird. Btw you should have a wagon with the Railfreight logo, there should 3 different livery variations in each pack but the whole thing with my packs is quite bizarre.

classy52 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Ok have an update, apparently Cavalex updated the running numbers for the BLA's right before or during production thus the ones you received don't match those as advertised from Rails. I'm having a right palaver with my 2 packs because of other issues as explained previously and spending a good part of my day trying to resolve it with Rails.

Received my BLA Pack A today, and as you have found, the running numbers differ from the Rails advert, that's not a problem, however what is, seems to be the change to the spec whereby originally, the company logos in the packs would be varied, and as you say the artwork showed this variety, indicating only one Railfreight branded wagon per pack. You have no Railfreight logo wagons in Pack C whereas Pack A has each wagon showing Railfreight albeit with different sizes of logo. My preference would have been Pack C if the contents had been correctly detailed on the website, to show the revised versions. I can't justify a further pack, as I have 5 BBAs to run them with, so am resorting to removing the Railfreight logos from 2 of the 3. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, personally this has turned out to be a bit of a mess as I ordered all 3 BLA Packs (A, B & C) and thus far received Packs B & C (Pack A on hold with Rails) but too be honest I don't know what these packs are supposed to consist of anymore and I'm still in the process of trying to figure that out with Rails. Btw the running numbers for Pack A wagons are now 910016, 910119 and 910280 and again not as advertised. There needs to be a lesson learned here from both Rails & Cavalex because I've spent £413 incl. delivery on all 3 packs which has left me completely confused and wasted a good amount of time trying to sort it out which up to this point still on-going.

Philou Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 @classy52 Hi, I'm only asking this question out of curiosity - is there a reason why the different numbers are seemingly a problem - I'd understand there being a problem if you'd received a set with some numbers being the same?

Where did I say it was a problem? I'm not bothered if the running numbers changed mid-flight thus have a read of my previous post on the first page where I explained in detail what has transpired and yes I did receive 2 wagons with the same running numbers with one coming in a box not meant for that wagon so will have to send that back.

Philou Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Ah well, there you go, I missed the bit where you did have a duplicate - good luck in getting a replacement as it seems the wagons are as rare as unicorn pooh. Cheers, Philip 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Philip No worries, I just needed to know what are the actual running numbers before I get Pack A sent to me as per explanation in my OP and it all just got really confusing because all of them changed. I'm seeking clarification from Rails now to outline exactly what are the BLA running numbers for each Pack just for my own sanity, once received I'll post here for everyone else's benefit as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Final contents; Pack A 910016 (Railfreight) 910119 (Railfreight) 910280 (Railfreight) Pack B (I think it is Pack B or could be Pack C?) 910197 (Railfreight) 910232 910374 Pack C (I think it is Pack C or could be Pack B?) 910059 910259 (Railfreight) 910325 Rails/Cavalex...is this right, any thoughts?

bazjones1711 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Our pack C has 910059 , 910325 and 910374 none have Railfreight logos , would have liked just one wagon with it on , i have some transfers so not a problem really , but something the buyer should not have to do when they were advertised as such , also we had them on pre order but had no email or contact from Rails , so cancelled the pre order and ordered straight off Rails and were delivered in 3 days .

My understanding based on their advertising was that each pack would have 1 Railfreight logo wagon but I ended up with 5...go figure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Simons Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Does anyone know if Rails are going to follow through with a second batch of BLA’s containing the EWS liveried wagons. It seems that Cavalex are planning a second batch of BBA’s with at least Bauxite and EWS liveries! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
