I regularly use Kadee with the leg cut off. They split when you lift one up.

 

PTAs run as fixed rakes so no need for shunting.


Correct. As they’re run in fixed rakes the leg is being left off as per prototype. They’re in NEM sockets though so can be replaced if you wish.

 

Cheers!

The coupler pin would be too high to use anyway without much stronger than normal magnets.

 

Kadees are designed for HO. In the case of the PTAs in OO, the body mounting position of the couplers in the prototype location as Accurascale are planning is several mm higher.

For the sake of clarity, each 'set' of 5 fixed wagons, has a regular NEM socket at each outer end.

Not the ARC/Yeoman ones. they were regulary shunted around and other wagons added / removed, such as PHAs.

correct.

At regular height. All inners are in NEM sockets too but are at a prototypical height.

Hi slg,

 

Indeed, slipped my mind to post these pics up on here last week!

 

So, for those of you who don't do Facebook, here are some progress shots of our wagons in production. Tampo and painting is under way before finally assembly. We're also getting the boxes for both the PTA and JSA packs sorted design wise. :)

Still on course for delivery!

 

Cheers!

I'm building a layout based on South Wales steel and thought I'd nailed all the locos I'd need until I saw this same vid the other day. Might have to get a Yeoman 59 now :D

:o.......oh my bank balance. 

 

I'm sorted on the 37, 56 and 60 front though :rolleyes:

 

And as Eric said, as luck would have it along come Dapol. There's a Railroad Yeoman 59 though seemingly not an ARC.

The first four Yeoman 59s would have been in service for around 4 and a half years when that video was taken. Hard to believe it was so along ago when they first arrived. I first saw them in 1987.
