The Yeoman wagons weather up nicely. Here's a few shots of them during a Yeoman 'takeover' on Whatley.

 

There is still work to do with powders to get the dust on the interior from the stone load. Interiors are done with artists acrylics whilst the exteriors are three layers: scratches are done with artists oil paints and a cocktail stick, followed by a grey/brown enamel wash followed by air-brushed Tamiya flat earth / flat yellow mixture. The Tamiya mixture was also applied as a wash to the under frame. I was aiming for this effect from Paul Bartlett's site (https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/yeomantipplerpta/h38ba7c0f).

 

I'm itching to set the layout up now and video a rake going round.

 

They should look very good paired up with the later 'Big Y' livery hoppers once they are out!

 

Cheers,

 

Guy

Excellent as always Guy.

 

Maybe do a tutorial for the AS website as they have one for most types of wagon?  The insides look really fantastic and you can almost see the rust flaking off!  

 

Best Wishes,

 

Chris.

Hi Andrew,

 

Apologies, missed this. Yes, the grey and orange British Steel PTAs carried scrap. https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/pta-jta-jua-bogie-tippler-wagons/products/pta-jta-jua-bogie-tippler-pack-british-steel-grey-orange

 

Thanks,

The scrap would mainly have been in the ex British Steel JUA / JTA in blue / orange livery  with all the logos painted out , see link to picture  not sure where they all worked from but some did work from Beeston to Cardiff in scrap traffic .

Possibly in their early days the repainted grey VTG versions were in scrap traffic .

Finally purchased two sets of these in the VTG grey, perfect for my modelling of London area freight, 2015 onwards.  To add to others, superb finesse, heavy, smooth running.

 

Accurascale, you guys are knocking it out of the park!  Well done.

Stenson Models have done some brake disc inserts to replace the missing ones on the wagon. I think they make enough of a difference to be worth fitting especially with the 'open' ends of the bogies.

Just a heads up chaps, a change in circumstances means that the likelihood of being able to progress my planned 4mm layout is nil, so I have decided to sell the Accurascale PTA tipplers I'd acquired for it, if anyone is interested drop me a PM.

 

These re the British Steel grey and orange sets.  I have 2x Outer sets and 4xInner, all are brand new, never out of the box, and the boxes are in perfect condition too.  Amazing wagons, very very impressed with them.  PM for details.

Would the Blue/Orange British Steel logo wagons been used on Consett trains or had the steel works closed before then?

 

Thanks

Alas the Blue and Orange ones are the South Wales ones from the 90’s and the Consett ones had become Procor ones for use by ARC and Yeomann in the Mendips.

The orange/grey ones are the correct colour for the Consett wagons but the markings were different to those on the Accurascale wagons.

So my choices are use rule one and use the orange/grey ones or use rule one and use the blue/orange ones or hope that the correct ones for Consett are issued.  Such are life's decisions!

 

Thanks to Johndon and Mark Saunders for the replies.

As I'm modelling the Consett line, I've gone for the orange/grey ones as I figured it would be easier to remove the marking as and when I can track down replacements rather than having to respray any of the others.

[Mark Saunders]

The orange and grey was the livery for them all when new. The only photo of the Teesside ones I have seen are from David Larkin and taken off the platform at Middlesbrough station!

I alway thought their normal livery was grime - so give your wagons a good dose of weathering and you can use them anywhere.

Agreed, this is what the PTAs on the Consett trains looked like in the late 70s...

Finished these off yesterday and am super happy with the results.  I followed an excellent video on You Tube uploaded by The Scrap Line to give me the confidence to have a go and really glad that I did.

[ColinK]

Superb job.

[Accurascale Fran]

Fabulous weathering there @Mooresby, well done!

Last year I received an order of these direct from A/S and the outer box contained a battery. I recently received another order  from a 3rd-party supplier and there was no battery.

 

To save me having to get the wagons out of the  box again and open up the last wagon, can somebody please advise what battery type I need.

 

Thanks

Hi Graham,

 

We sell them as separate items if that helps? https://accurascale.co.uk/products/energizer-lithium-battery-cr2012-2012-3v?_pos=1&_sid=f2f57d75f&_ss=r

 

Thanks,

Thanks Fran - order submitted

Im hoping there will be another run of the blue orange british steel inners. I misjudged the length of them and bought too few thinking they would be a similar length to coaches. Now realise i can squeeze a few more into the fiddle yard.  Double headed 87s on a rake of ten looks like enough power to get up everest rather than shap.

Any chance of a rerun?

 

Or does anyone know of a retailer that still has stock?

Footplate models are showing 1 set in stock this morning, however the photo shows a British Steel JSA SET, but the description and price is for a BS blue/orange inner set. Best to phone them to confirm what the item is.
