Is the illustration wrong? Cheers Hi Tom, Yes, the illustration is really just a placeholder. It’s not to scale and intended purely to give those ordering a quick visual reminder of the model they are choosing. The proper livery diagrams the factory will work to will be prepared when we are ready to produce decorated samples; these are some way off as the model has only just started tooling. cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Thanks Ben, I am keen on a couple of pairs of the log ones. The correct length works a lot better for me! At 27m IRL they'd be too long to get away with 2 pairs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted January 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hi Tom, The photos on Paul Bartlett’s wonderful site are often an inspiration; you’ll see in the close-ups in this gallery that the correct length for these wagons will be 20.76m. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/ferrynorskhydro cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D9502 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hi Ben, Mike, Will these be sold in individual boxes with a card sleeve like the OO scale TEA triple packs or both wagons in one foam insert? I'm considering going 50/50 with a friend and two separate boxes would be easier. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't designed the packaging yet, but for ease of postage almost certainly the latter. Cheers Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hi Mike, I’ve sent you a PM on the DEMU forum, sorry Ben forgot to add you to that as you’ll see I have an issue logging on to order the KFA’s. No rush just so you see it. thanks Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flood Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Just so you guys are aware I've noticed a livery variation on the Norsk Hydro wagons. The vast majority are as per your photo of 83 80 474 1 010-8P with the ship and Hydro at each end and Isis Group to the far right (as seen in 1990): https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/ferrynorskhydro/e3c893b7d The first batch seem to have had the ship to the left hand end and Isis Group to the right hand end: https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/ferrynorskhydro/e2eb35418 but these were changed to be like the others prior to 1990. I'm sure you will only bother with the later "twin ship" style but I thought you might like to know in case anyone mentions it in the future. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted April 20, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hi there, Yes, thanks. I had noticed there was some variation but I hadn’t twigged that the first batch had the larger ISIS badge. For the time being we are doing the version with the two Norsk logos as you suspected - I am just about to prepare the painting diagrams funnily enough - but it’s entirely possible that we would look at other variants in another few years. cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 https://flic.kr/p/zYTvW5 Thanks to Mike, for helping sort out my ordering last night, I have ordered a rake of 10. These will be fantastic wagons from the quality of the previous TEA and MMA’s and great to see more wagons in OO from you both. I recently found this photo on Flickr which shows some full size fresh out of the box wagons which will be easy to create when these come out along with a Hornby 60.

Unfortunately in my case I am interested in the period after Colas sold their 60s, so would have to be a Colas 70 or 56 I think. I want the 70 but they are £170 in the very few places I can see them which is more than I want to spend for a model of that quality. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted May 2, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hi there, I am not sure if it helps, but Colas have hired in the occasional Freightliner 70 for the logs. I saw this at Carlisle last year. Cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogbox321 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I'm sure sometime in the future, Bachmann will do another Colas 70, and these wagons will increase demand further. Just a passing thought. Its a good job the Class 70's fire issues are sorted, otherwise the load could end up as cinders! Wonder if any of the drivers carry Mashmallows just in case? Regards, C.

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted May 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2020 As Ben said (I think!) in our FB live session recently, we’re expecting the first samples of the holdall van and timber carrier in the next few weeks! cheers Mike 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
159220 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Not my photo, but looking through Flickr today...this gem appeared: Cannot really say no to ordering these nows, but hate to ask (I know I did before but were waiting for it to be confirmed), what wagon numbers are A-D? Yes, I like wagon numbers! Some numbers are lucky, some aren't. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted May 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 7, 2020 Hi 159220, The numbers have been selected on the basis of photographs I have, and they are subject to possible change, but at the moment they are: Set A - 83 84 3523 011-8, 83 84 3523 034-0 Set B - 83 84 3523 019-1, 83 84 3523 036-5 Set C - 83 84 3523 022-5, 83 84 3523 043-1 Set D - 83 84 3523 023-3, 83 84 3523 045-6 HTH, Cheers Ben A.

Just has "add to wishlist" next to the original listing and any second hand ones I could see. The only places I could see with stock were Olivia's and Malcs Models both at £170.

I purchased one last night at 10pm after someone posted there was stock of the Colas 70's for £156 at Hattons in the Colas Class 70 thread and there were 6 left at the time, they then sold out within a couple of hours after I got mine...it was pure chance for me. I will now get all 4 packs of the IWA's which should go very nicely with the Colas 70. Edited May 8, 2020 by classy52 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Lol when did they come into stock then? I have been looking on and off for a while! Oddly enough I saw yesterday there was some new ish Bachmann stuff in stock (I presume stock from another shop) but didn't see any 70s.
