rembrow Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Very good news. I've also just seen that TMC are showing their commissioned 24.5 ton MEO coal wagons as having arrived, so will be able to mix and match. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite Oktoberfest beer has also come in stock early, plus I also have some of Accus Coil A wagons on order. So many delights but so little cash. No in fairness I'm lucky, my state pension funds my hobby, thanks to a good occupational index linked pension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sulzer71 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Would anyone know whether either of these wagons would be found in the Speyside/GNOSR area during the 60's/70's??

However, Hornby Mag have very kindly allowed us to have a cabinet on their stand with our latest samples on display, including a new announcement! More details next week but @Islesywill be in attendance for us on Saturday so if he is partial to it please feed him for us! Cheers! Fran 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a penny numbers flow of domestic coal to the yard, mostly in 16 tonners but I had seen the odd 21 tonner myself and there are published photos too. On that basis I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the odd 21 tonner on your patch with domestic coal, but I doubt it would be more than one at a time, and not every week either.

Hi @69843 We are just syncing up the stock to the website and to do that we have to mark them sold out. They'll be back on sale once this process is complete. Sorry about that!

I know one friend down here who is very disappointed he waited an hour after I sent the email to him. Accurascale has taught me a new consideration in buying models. If you really want something from them, don't put it off. We don't know if there will be rereleases in the future, so to avoid risk, you need to commit. Shortly to be the happy recipient of six Coil As and six 21 tonners which I ordered earlier this year. Is there also the Jennifer Kirk "JK" version of the 21T too ? You could use a little T Cut maybe ? Edited September 24, 2021 by Covkid Add 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold McC Posted September 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2021 As Fran said dispatch will commence in the coming week and if you bought direct you should have had an update today from us about that. once dispatch to customers gets underway in order of paid order we will be sending tracking details as we send out each order. We can only handle about 500 orders a day at the moment so it will take all week at least to process preorders. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
