RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 3, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Yesterday's day off coincided with 6M90 Gloucester-Clitheroe and the PCA rake that is used when extra trains are required above and beyond the thrice weekly working with JPA bogie tanks. 66715 "Valour" at the pointy end of 26 PCAs - 16x PC017B 106xx tanks as per Accurascale's model, and 8 x PC017C 740xx It does a reversal over the crossover at Horrocksford Junction before running round and shunting into Clitheroe Cement works - allowing shots of both sides of the set and some overhead shots as well. I'm particularly interested in the graffiti and weathering on them. Here's a selection starting with a "clean" 10628 Here's one I couldn't identify at first - 106?5 as the yellow plate had a number scratched off. So hoping for more on the other side yeah right! Luckily one of my local gen lists had the consist for 6M90 and later identified as 10635 The mesh doesn't let everything through. And 10643 is another tagged example.

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted January 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 3, 2019 Cracking set of pics, Mick! Here is a pic with the detail pack put in place in addition to the decorated samples on the previous page. All it needs is a tail lamp!

YesTor Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The latest photos really do show these to be incredibly nice wagons. Can anyone confirm if the STS plain dark grey variants ever worked in rakes mixed with different liveried examples? And also, was this Caib liveried example a one-off? https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/stspca/h3f1c5225#h3f1c5225 thanks Al Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the CAIB livery was a one off. Cheers for your kind words! Fran Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were in the Clyde Cement Coatbridge working that was formed of bogie hoppers and tanks. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Paul Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hi, Has anybody got any information regarding the length of these wagons. Just wondering if I would get a rake of 18 wagons into the fiddle yard. If not, I might have to build a New layout to accommodate them, they look that Good !!! Thanks for any help forthcoming.

Hi Paul, You’re looking at around 109mm (108.92 to be exact!) per wagon from buffer to buffer if that helps? Cheers! Fran Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! Fran Hi Fran, Perfect !!! Thanks for the very quick response. That information will certainly help. I'm not sure if these wagons would have run through my layout of Nottingham Station, "London Road" But, I'm sure that I could have a "Diversion" in progress !!! Thank you again.

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hi everyone, We have sent off the changes to China and they will now be implemented in the production run. We noticed some decoration errors across all three liveries and taking the time to correct them means that delivery has now been delayed until late March as we are about to hit Chinese New Year. We really wanted to get them here beforehand but we rather they're right than rushed. Apologies for the slight delay but we know you value fidelity over everything. Cheers!

rembrow Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Can anyone advise me if any of the Castle Cement livery packs will fit in with my layout period of 1998-2004. I ask as the packs show two different company 'statements' printed under the Castle Cement name on the wagon sides. Onevis 'Heidelberg Cement Group' which puts that livery as post purchase by Heidelberg Cement in May 2007. The other logo is 'Building a better environment'. Is the later an earlier or contemporary with the Heidelberg attribution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
