The one that went on at £245 BIN is now £199.99 I know one of them isnt! Not me though, my friend is selling one of them that he bought when first released.

slg Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I've ordered 2 packs of the cargowaggon liveried ones and all 4 Log Wagon packs. I have my Colas 56 all ready and waiting. The first picture is from a visit to Salisbury which is one from my collection I'm loading up on the Prototype section and the other 3 are from video footage that I've taken screen shots from as I was unable to load the video due to format issues. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbox321 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Nice photo of the 47. Any idea of the number? Also looks like another freight Class 47 in the Background. Would be interested in knowing a little more about the flows to the South West - Truro and Barnstaple Branch. Best Regards, C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hi All, Have ordered all IWA Timber Wagon Packs and just wanted to know what would be the best length timber loads to purchase to fill up the wagons. Goodwood Scenics haved an excellent range of ready made and to fit timber loads but there are 3 different lengths at 40mm, 64mm & 128mm thus what would be the perfect load length to fill up the new IWA's. Your assistance & advice will be very much appreciated. Cheers Steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to TOUAX's web-site, the wagons have an internal length of 19.5 m. the photos in SLG's posting suggest 5 stacks per wagon, meaning each stack is about 3.900m long. If you're modelling in 4mm, this is equivalent to 51mm, which doesn't seem to tie in exactly to any of Goodwood's range. Bear in mind, however that timber lengths might vary according to origin. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that. Yeah I'll do more research on available photo's as the timber cut length's may or may not vary depending where they are being loaded/sourced but based on your calculations the Goodwood loads can be suitable from 64mm or 128mm but requiring cutting to properly fit in the wagon or mimic a prototypical rake.

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted August 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Hi there, Interesting question. A Flickr search of Exeter-Chirk workings shows that 5- and 6-stack loadings are the most common. It is also clear that between each stack and at each end there is usually a gap of around a foot, though on occasion they are almost touching or up to 3’ apart, so there is considerable leeway. This image, admittedly taken at Carlisle and not of a SW train, shows the variation in gaps with the centre logs almost touching and a large gap at either end. The internal dimension of the model in 00 is 256mm, so averaging at 4mm between each stack and at each end suggests that for 5 piles an average load would have logs of 46mm if in 5 stacks, and 38mm for 6 stacks. cheers Ben A.

Hi Ben, Yes I had seen on Flickr Colas Class 70's haul 6 stack wagons thus the 40mm packs from Goodwood Scenics should do the trick with a a bit of shaving off if required. Now need to order a fairly large pack, will require 48 individual packs for my 8 wagons but will really look the part once all put together in the future.

MRDBLUE17 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hi Ben, Will look forward to watching shortly. Seeing the samples and latest email has reminded me I forgot to order some vans when I ordered the timber variants so will get some ordered later All the best Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to create a new order and unfortunately pay postage again. I asked this question to Revolution a while back when I had 2 packs on order and wanted to add another and that was the answer I got. Oddly enough I now have 4 packs in 3 separate orders.

I had a quick look at your site this morning at the samples and they look superb. Nearly a year since we got the chance to order them, the two Holdalls I've ordered will certainly complement the freight stock for Aberdeen Kirkhill. One will be very shiny, the other definitely not.

MRDBLUE17 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Hi everyone, Whilst searching for trains to run on Rannoch I discovered the IWA’s had run up the West Highland Line for a period in 1988. LL 37’s on the Mossend to Corpach speedlink workings. I even found a shot of two passing at Crianlarich. As far as I can tell it looks like they were used for paper mill traffic. Given how popular the line is I thought this might be interesting to others and with the order deadline at the end of December a nice excuse for a Christmas treat! cheers Mark 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
