RMweb Gold Andy7 Posted January 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2020 Not an issue with me Fran. I am happy to wait for what I know will be a great product. In the meantime you can announce some binliner flats with containers! Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know it's disappointing, but felt it would be more disappointing if the models werent up to scratch too. We are going to work towards a system where we hang longer before announcing wagons in future. Definitely better being right. When they come the wait will be irrelevant. And if you're going to be late on something I have on pre order from you I'd rather it was this (rather than Mk5s or Class 37s!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

classy52 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Sorry Fran for going off topic. Anyway I'm sort of glad these have been delayed because I will get them but wouldn't be until much later on so now I can still purchase the open coil bundle with the 10% discount later on, I intend to match these up with the new Cavalex BLA's when they are released. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Bachmann EWS BRA, DB BYA and EWS BZA to go with mine. I have ordered the 6 pack but may sell a pair as I may have gone overboard! I have ordered uncovered ones.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted May 13, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hi everyone, Another day, yet another new model reveal! Time for a first look at our JSA steel coil wagons. First up is the modern VTG livery on the hooded carriers. We think these have turned out especially well. We were on the fence about doing the JSAs, but seeing the results here we are delighted that we did. The VTG wagons received new hoods with rivets compared to the British Steel variants which were smooth. Yes, being the sticklers for detail we are, we have tooled BOTH hoods, one of which you can see here with all that lovely rivet detail. Once again, please note that fit, finish and printing will be better on the production models. These beauties are due in September 2020 and are available to pre-order now at £59.95 per pack of two. Three VTG hooded packs available, each wagon with a different running number of course, you know how we like our rakes! Cheers! Fran 29 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 14, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2020 Check out our topless beauty with our modern JSA steel coil wagons! Here is a first look at our open top JSA coil carrier in distinctive VTG black livery, complete with coil load! In 2018 Arlington Fleet Services began to refurbish 39 JSA wagons at its Eastleigh workshops. As part of this process, the wagons have had their hoods removed and have entered traffic as open coil carriers on flows from Port Talbot to Llanwern and Corby, and between Margam and Hartlepool. A second batch of 45 wagons is undergoing conversion during 2019-2020. Our model makes use of the PTA and JSA chassis to bring you these latest coil wagons to add to your current scene steel train. Once again, please not that fit and finish will be a lot tighter on the production models, with tampo much sharper. Cheers! Fran 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah you're on about the hooded JSAs. FWIW the rake I am going to be using: 1 DB Class 60 6 Open JSAs 1 BYA DB 1 BRA EWS 1 BZA EWS No idea if exactly realistic but it kinda goes with the more recent ones on the list Edited May 14, 2020 by TomScrut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that the hooded VTG JSAs have not run with the opens. Not that that is a definitive reason not to invoke Rule 1 Edited May 14, 2020 by McC 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also match up the forthcoming Cavalex BLA's with the open JSA's as well I think. Edited May 14, 2020 by classy52 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've got all 18 Castle Cement PCA's as well but no Hattons 66 to go with them atm due to missing out on the appropriate sound models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of two I have. The PCAs have Hunt couplings fitted, makes a big difference when pushing a rake of that size into a siding Is there a suitable Cavalex BLA? I thought they were all in BR livery? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cavalex BLA's are mixed branded livery but they are listed as multi-era which can be used in today's rakes. Check them out at Rails...https://railsofsheffield.com/manufacturer-cavalex-models-JJJM168 Apologies to Accurascale for linking another brand in your thread, hope this is ok.
