Shoey Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Hi Aaron, these cads are very pleasing on the eyes and nice to hear that it won’t be too long before more progress is made. Looking forward to seeing the next update! Edited June 8, 2021 by Shoey 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 As @Shoey said, some good looking wagons there! I'm sure I'll be putting an order in for a few of them for my FL intermodal trains. A good addition to the modern image scene, and slightly earlier as they've been around a while now. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

159220 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I am looking very forward to the OO FSA/FTA in FL Green, a key wagon, with a higher priority than the FEA. I have never seen a FL train without at least a twin. Though I am sure there are the rare one or two (like the 'shortener'). Might I enquire two things I have noticed on the CAD, as you mentioned still much to do... The spigots, are these 'retractable' as CAD seems unclear? Dapol's separate spigots are a good bet, Revolution's rotating spigots are a nice touch, but Hornby's fixed spigots are a nightmare! Would love to hear your thoughts on how the spigots are going to be managed. The bogies, I notice that though the central hollow circle seems to be a nice dimension, the two triangular hollows either side seem a little overscale with the 'rimmed welded-framing' too pronounced? Otherwise a very nice looking bogie! Pic found on Smugmug 'gingespotting' Do you know when we can start offering you money for these? Maybe with some 'HMM' containers... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Hi everyone, Really pleased to see the CADs for the 4mm FSA/FTA’s progressing. Arran already knows I will be after a set of 20 decks to go behind the pair of Heljan 86’s I have on order, will be perfect on a typical Anglo- Scottish working. Will be needing to add a few more containers over the coming months too. thanks Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelsteadLane Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Can’t believe I’ve only just found this thread. All looking very good so far and I’m looking forward to putting my pre orders in and also seeing what new OO container liveries will be released for them. Hoping for some commonly seen on the Felixstowe services as those are what I model - Hamburg Sud, Maersk, Safmarine, P&O Nedlloyd, Cosco and obviously some leasers! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
