I’d like to model the Boston steel train in the Colas (mid 2010’s) era. According to the pictures I’ve seen on Flickr, the train was usually made up IHA bogie covered steel coil wagons but some of the trains were mixed 50/50 with I think JSA’s or a complete rake. The problem I’m facing is the pictures are not very clear as the photographer has concentrated of the loco. As IHA’s are unavailable as a OO scale model, I’d like to recreate the train if possible with JSA’s if they are correct. Hi Jools, I think you're out of luck looking at our route map and formations guide, but if you find a pic let us know! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I think they are KIA (Dapol model) https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Flive.staticflickr.com%2F5447%2F7062011809_ee01e78386_b.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2F75892080%40N06%2F7062011809%2F&tbnid=UiXSR_75mY3mFM&vet=12ahUKEwjuwpry4vzrAhUJ_hoKHeZsBzMQMygMegUIARCqAQ..i&docid=W7gE_g1Hxn-VfM&w=1024&h=685&itg=1&q=colas 6e07&client=firefox-b-m&ved=2ahUKEwjuwpry4vzrAhUJ_hoKHeZsBzMQMygMegUIARCqAQ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Fran, I’ve found a couple of pictures on Flickr (I searched Boston steel) and though you can’t see the TOPS code, their VTG lettered which makes me think their JSA’s, but they also could be KIA (Dapol’s model).

slg Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 It could be worse you could model an earlier time frame say 1990s First train has a couple of wagon model options for the future maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t paying attention attention when the video first started as I heard the sound of a 37 and wondered what the hell was bringing the train into the yard, only to realise it’s a wagon with porch on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium James Makin Posted November 22, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 22, 2020 Just as a very casual question, are you aiming for a pre-Christmas delivery on these by chance? I’ve ordered a few of the delicious British Steel Blue ones and seeing whether they might work as a Christmas gift from the family to sit under the tree or whether to get something else railway related to unwrap on the big day - a happy conundrum..!

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted November 25, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2020 Hi everyone, We pushed as hard as we could to land these in December but due to COVID and a shortage of staff in the factory (some have been pinched by larger tech companies and with COVID travel restrictions unable to replaced) delivery for these JSAs has slipped into the new year. We are very sorry for this delay, but unfortunately there is little we can do to speed them up. thanks, Fran 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieghoff Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 At least we now know whats happening guys and thats enough for me and im sure everyone else. Yes, a bit disappointing but in the main we have got the PTA's to keep us busy with and a look forward into the new year. Im sure that you guys will be doing and have done everything possible to bring these to us but delays are inevitable in the current climate and im sure everyone will bear this in mind. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railfreight1998 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I think all the JSAs still in use have their hoods removed, as they are used for semi-finished rather than finished steel. Interestingly, some of the former JSAs have now become open box wagons - the third use for some of these chassis, and much closer to their original appearance.

Going2theDogs Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hi All, I have to agree, these look superb & will follow on from their previous successes. As before, get 'em while you can, as once they are gone, they are gone or at least until another rerun. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieghoff Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Well by my reckoning, these lovelies should be in the UK now....................not long to go hopefully before we see these being rolled out to their new owners. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or instead of guessing and causing a barrage of emails to them, as I'm sure they will be busy coming up with other lovely models for us to buy in the future, wanting to know where thier models are..... We all could wait for those nice guys at Accurascale to let us know that they have arrived in the UK like they have done with all the other models they have done......
