RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted February 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2021 Following on from a post in the Deltic thread it occurred to me that there is a major gap in the provision of loads for late steam era layouts. Have @Accurascale Fran and the lads had any ideas about a set of these chaps, resized for a sixteen tonner, say? Should even be possible to fit a smoke unit in the wagon for working pipes. 3 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click through to Flickr, the caption gives the details. It's on the Nantlle Tramway, just after it was dieselised when the horse passed away. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted March 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2021 FYI. One pack of casks, five stacks, fit nicely into a Parkside ale pallet wagon. Now can you do the earlier style of aluminium cask please?!! Mike. 3 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted March 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2021 Just got an email to say my PFA, PTA and steel coils have been dispatched. That was quick. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted March 9, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2021 My package arrived this morning. Loads for PTAs and PFAs. They look very well, I just need to weather the wagons now. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clagsniffer Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I ordered a fair few loads on the 5/3/21 with all items showing as in stock, but haven’t heard anything since. Is there a big backlog on these? Just getting slightly concerned there’s been an issue with my order. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnfromoz Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Just bought a couple of packs of the dolofines/ lime loads from a local retailer. Wasn't that keen on the aggregate colour ( too dark and uniform) so think the dolofines may be a better representation of sea gravel with a bit of weathering for my VTG London area set.

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted March 18, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2021 I got a similar big box containing one set of steel coils. The loads are so good I’ve now ordered a load more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishdurham Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Just placed my third order for loads, this time iron ore for PTAs. If it is anything like the coal they are fantastic. However, note to self. The shipping cost more than the load and DHL then stung me for a larger amount to bring them into Canada. At 50 quid delivered that is a bit much. Next time I'll order with the wagons. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a new seal for the shower door recently, it was 3ft long and about an inch sqaure. It came in box about 5ft x 2ft x 18” filled with brown paper. What a waste and even broken down, it took up lots of room in the recycling bin. Whilst I do understand the advantages of standard size boxes, it all seems to be getting a bit silly now.

Whilst I do understand the advantages of standard size boxes, it all seems to be getting a bit silly now. Roy Whilst I can (just) understand the thinking behind one size fits all packaging, taking your shower seal as an example, there must be a correlation between the size of the box, the size of the item and the number you can get in one vehicle for delivery purposes. Taken to the extreme, if you had ordered ten thousand seals, how many lorries would that have taken to deliver compared to "non standard" packaging that would have allowed them to be delivered in one lorry, where is the cost saving? Also, an unnecessarily large box prevents more items being carried to make transportation costs generally cheaper. It's either me or the world going crazy, and I know which one my moneys on! Mike.
