RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted September 13, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hi everyone, KINGS OF THE CASTLE; PCA PROGRESS REPORT! Decorated samples of our forthcoming PCA wagons in original and current Castle Cement liveries have arrived and very good they look too. We have now assessed these livery samples, offered feedback to the factory and they will now enter production with a delivery date of Q2 2022. With over 50% of the production run already pre-ordered they are sure proving popular! Pre-order your packs of three wagons for £74.95 per pack via your local stockist, or direct via Accurascale! Order here: https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/pca-bulk-cement-wagon Cheers! Fran 7 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hi Fran, Is there a route map for these? I like the idea of having a rake but would need to justify it running through an area I want to model, to move it up the list of potential purchases! Or did they only turn up on the two workings mentioned on the description? Still tempting just to have a long rake of them if that is the case... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_B Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Chris, there's a short rake that works from Clitheroe to Bristol docks and back. Ian_B 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham108 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Is the rake a multiple of 3? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_B Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 they had a rake of 6 run away from the loading facility at Clitheroe so that may well be correct. I don't know. Ian_B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_B 6M90/6V84 usually runs as mixed rake of PCAs (15/16) and the later JPAs (4/5). Although these are in Hanson livery and do have a couple of different details from the Bachmann models. You could have a single PCA. (This is the wagon that ran away!) Note: to be really up to date, the fleet received VTG "safety egg" stickers in 2019. Seen here on 10619 (decals available from Railtec). Edited September 15, 2021 by newbryford 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scouse889 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 These are looking really good, looking forward to them. Can anyone share or direct me to some reference photos or videos of the wagons in their original Castle livery? I’m drawing a blank….! What sort of traction would be suitable for use with them?

I do recall seeing a good few 58s around that time on them at their destination, more so than other traction for the few summer weeks I would be in the area each year around then.
