bazil31 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) I've ordered the blue ones but now also like the VTG ones as well but I have got too much on order already so might give them a miss. Edited May 14, 2020 by bazil31 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 15, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2020 Beautiful British Steel! Have we saved the best reveal till last? Some would say we have. We certainly think the JSAs in their original British Steel blue livery are very tasty indeed! Cheers! Fran 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railfreight1998 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 They look excellent Fran. I can feel my wallet getting lighter already (even though I don't think they ever reached Workington). 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Just got the email for the open coil wagons, and have to ask, will we be able to get the coil loads as spares? Also, one of the wagons has a wonky buffer lol. PS, the buffers on these, are they 18"oleo? And will they be available as a spare, as they will be useful for modern air braked wagons.

Hi Cheesysmith - we hope to offer the coils as an accessory pack in time, and yes, the sample was missing a buffer for it's photo op - well spotted I'll check with the team regarding the buffers.

RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted May 16, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2020 The coils would be great as a separate accessory. I definitely have a need for them. Unfortunately the wagons themselves are too late for my modelling period. However I have a good few PTAs on order and will be getting more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn11post Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 On 14/05/2020 at 13:48, classy52 said: Just a quickie (gotta stop saying that), would the topless wagons go with the hooded wagons in a prototypical rake? As a general rule, open wagons are used for hot material (as in ~>100°C) or anything for further processing (pickling/tubing). e.g. Trostre/Corby/Hartlepool/Llanwern flows. Covered wagons are used for cold material or finished coils. e.g Shotton/Round Oak/Llanwern. So would have happened on the Margam - Llanwern, but probably rare, as the hooded (VTG) are being converted to open and most of the open fleet are used on Corby flows in that period. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoey Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Had already placed an order for the black VTG open coil carriers and have been trying so hard to resist placing another order but for the VTG hooded variant this time but after seeing the detail including the rivets, I’ve caved in and just placed an order for the bundle of 6 wagons, along with some of your superb LED fitted buffer stops. I’d love you guys to take on the class 153 doing a super detailed version with all those rivets 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway back on topic to the JSAs they do look very nice indeed especially the VTG open coil carriers and the VTG hooded wagons but i have to limit what items i get as i only got limited amount of room and haven't got a layout yet.

Now you’re talking! As greedy as it sounds I’d go for 2-3 of these as living in Newton Abbot I saw many of these in plenty of formations plus attempting to model the First group Blue (and hopefully one day include the dynamic/local lines) colours, I’d be a very happy chappy These steel wagons are no where near where I live but rule number 1 will apply alot on my layout and I have a ‘thing’ for steel trains and with how good they are looking, I just can’t resist! Hoping these guys will consider the IHA steel wagons next Edited May 25, 2020 by Shoey 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomScrut Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I too am looking forward to these, despite at the moment not having a loco to pull them. I am thinking the aptly named "Stainless Pioneer" when it turns up. That is 60062, not 37275 or 56112, or anything else that's carried that name! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomScrut Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) I'm looking forward to these. I have a pack of 6 open ones coming to go with 4 BRA/BYAs in EWS and DB livery and a EWS BZA. Oh and a class 60! I have actually built a train around getting these wagons! Edited September 21, 2020 by TomScrut 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted September 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 22, 2020 I’m thinking of getting a set of the telescopic version but I’m unsure which ones to get? 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
