Ruston Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 4 hours ago, Accurascale Fran said: We're not so happy about the paint finish in some areas, and have asked the factory to rectify this for production as it is not up to the standards we demand. This will receive attention and the quality of the paint finish will be much better on the models you receive. To be honest, the paint finish isn't going to last two minutes once I get my hands on my wagons. All-steel wagons get repainted as part of my weathering process. Just gimme the wagons! Have you considered producing unpainted wagons, perhaps at a lower cost, in future? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH unpainted wagons would not sell in the quantities we work in and in reality the painting process is pence in the overall production process, so it wouldnt really pass on any savings. Cheers!

Grimethorpe 166 https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/grimethorpecoalite/e69a20522 - completely different brake rigging, from a hopper. Hi Paul, Our internal user industrial wagon pack has been produced within the parameters of the MDO tooling - we have taken inspiration from the Grimethorpe Coalite livery but they are not intended to be models of these exact wagons. As you note there are a number of detail differences, as these vehicles were modified, rebodied and patched up. Our hope is that they can find a home on any modelled industry where this type of wagon might end its days in industrial service, and should be a great base for serious weathering projects. 5 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels look a tad on the thick side, ISTR you specified RP25/88 for these wagons, is it my eyes or are they on temporary wheelsets? Mike. On 28/05/2021 at 10:14, Accurascale Fran said: Hi Mike, Indeed we did, but after testing with the engineering samples and feedback from the cemflos that derailments can occur on less than perfect track (which more people than we realised had!) so we have reverted back to industry standard 110 to ensure reliability. However, they're easily swapped out for 88s, EM, P4 etc. Cheers! Fran Dog with a bone mode on. The Cemflo's and hoppers already had RP25/88 wheelsets, so, ergo, I would imagine you have these reasonably easily available, therefore would it be possible to offer these as an accessory, (I realise that offering them as a option fit isn't practical), only available with a wagon purchase at a competitive price for those of us PITA's who wish to model to a slightly finer standard? Mode off. Mike. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
