Krieghoff Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Yet again another phenomenal and i mean phenomenal bit of rolling stock brought to us. A massive thumbs up from me and im ordering them later this evening. Accurascale keeps on giving and my wallet keeps on taking a battering. :0 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyburns56 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 So were these created with a cut and shut job then? I can't understand how you can just take section out of them and still maintain their strength?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand how you can just take section out of them and still maintain their strength?? The joint is not a straight line. The staggered cut retains a lot of strength. The lower cut is in line with the top cut. Edited February 18, 2021 by newbryford 4 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 18, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 18, 2021 Having fun searching for "Arcow" on Flickr. Then onto 6M31/6M38 and others for graffiti pics for future reference. My office desk is in sight of the line and often glance at the passing trains - having seen virtually all of the GBRf celebrity liveries (this one IMO is not the best) Four different liveries on the first four wagons.

I don't think it would take much to remove the NACCO transfer etc and hopefully Steve at Railtec will make some renumbering packs Edited February 18, 2021 by daz9284 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to see which ones went up there, thought they'd be the tarmac variety (as I think it used to be the JGAs) As Daz says, hoppers of many varieties, but I've never seen the Tarmac JGAs that run out of Rylstone on Arcow jobs (never say never). JNA-T boxes appear on flows that don't have hopper discharge. Plan blue or grey VTG, but mostly GBRF branded blue - available via Revolution Trains When the quarry reopened to rail, Freightliner HIAs and MJA twins were common with GBRf traction. edit for clarity.

I was thinking Arcow but I think Rylstone must be where most went. Searching Rylstone JGA gets you some (I'm on a phone so linking to Flick is a nuisance if sharing is disabled), I have edited this as I misunderstood you, I now think you were confirming what I am saying.... I am talking hoppers not the more recent cement wagons (but I think you know that). And on the topic of shorty HYAs, this is one I'll probably recreate Got the loco, and will probably have the 3 Tarmac packs and the Nacco.

'CHARD Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Appropriate that the graffiti vandalised wagon appears to now wear the logo 'FS,' although not for the Italian State Railway, I judge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
