Sithlord75 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Nice Robert. To my regret I didn't have the funds to get more than one when the kit was still available. Hopefully I'll have the funds when the RTR version comes out to get the three I was wanting. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What colour did you use for the Silcock ones? cheers Ben A. Thanks Ben, in answer : Nissan red 526 as an orangy red having looked at phots on Pauls site and Flikr - given all the risks associated with old photos and perceptions on scale colour the grey side panels - which I guess were unpainted stainless looking at the weathering is Ford Polar grey - both Halford Rattle cans, all on Halford grey primer. The rail blue is from Ricolett paints in MK as BR 114 blue and matches the Dapol Western/ class 22 - also seen at work without rail blue era staff getting frothy, so that does for me !! Off to consider how to make up a handrail chain for the upper decks on the blue one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I foolishly didnt aquire any of the Silcock ones at the time. The orange looks like a fairly good resemblence of a weathered example to me although from seeing them many times on the WCML my memory is telling me that when cleaner they were more orangy.

jonhall Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I'm sure Revolution have more than enough prototype information, but for anyone else interested, (shameless plug) I've put a set of Cartic (and Freightliner) wagon GA's on Ebay at the moment http://ebay.us/7jdClW?cmpnId=5338273189 and then see sellers other items!

RMweb Gold scottystitch Posted March 29, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Slightly off topic, since I'm pretty certain know these aren't the vehicles being offered here, but can anyone identify what these are, at Perth around 1985?: Best Scott.

Mike Harvey Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 MF Trains make a large range of 3 axle single and double deck car transporters in 1/160. There are two different variants of the double deckers with the early models based on the Spanish version which is wider than the generall Europe wide version. https://mftrain.com/vagones-portacoches-s4//per-page/45 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Steven B Posted March 30, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30, 2021 Premier Transport at Exeter received cars from Garston with Cartic-4 being used to transport the cars - usually one or two Silcock orange sets. 6B19/6C46 (Exeter Riverside to Newport Alexandra Dock Junction) and 6B97 (Tavistock Junction to Gloucester New Yard) both regularly included Cartic-4 wagons. Other common wagons in the rakes included Hold-all ferry vans (Revolution), OCA (Farish), VGA (Farish), VAA/VDA, HEA (Farish), bogie Polybulk (Farish) and PBA Clay-Tigers. https://flic.kr/p/RHqByE https://flic.kr/p/2iZ8P9p https://flic.kr/p/NDY8E4 https://flic.kr/p/2k32Wvz I'm sure I read somewhere that Kernow were scaling their PBA to N Gauge (although only in the later blue livery?) which just leaves the HEA and 20' 9" WB vans to be upgraded to current standards!

The PBAs are probably the last major “must have” wagon for me so I am always on the lookout for any sign that someone might make them in N but I haven’t seen anything yet. There’s been lots of wishful thinking (mine included) but nothing definite. If you remember where you read it I’d be very interested.

RMweb Premium Steven B Posted March 30, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30, 2021 Found it - they'll be an EFE branded product but only in the later blue livery. Twelve in total, four each of unweathered, light weathering and heavily weathered: Hopefully they'll sell well enough that they consider doing the earlier white livery at some point.

Scott B Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Those Imerys JNAs were never white, they arrived new in blue as replacements/additions to the earlier PBA Clay Tigers, which as far as I know have still never been produced either in original white or Tiphook blue. As such, I suspect that it is these white clay tigers that Western Aviator is yearning rather than these later wagons. Or then I could have it completely wrong LOL Regards Scott 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or then I could have it completely wrong LOL Regards Scott No Scott, you’re spot on. The PBAs appeared in 1982 in Tiger white and were repainted into Tiphook blue in 1993/4. I’m not sure exactly when the JIAs (that EFE are producing) appeared but photos from 2001 show both types in the same train so it must have been around that time. The PBAs have never been produced RTR in N gauge but a body shell only has been available on Shapeways for some time. I wouldn’t exactly say I’m yearning for them but I will be very pleased if/when they do ever get made and I’m sure lots of other people will be too. Apologies for the thread drift, back to the Cartics... Edited March 31, 2021 by Western Aviator 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted March 30, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Hi all, Apologies for maintaining the thread drift, albeit briefly, but the JIAs offered by EFE Rail are shrunk down versions of the same wagons produced by Kernow in 00, of the more recent type. However, Kernow have also produced the *original* clay tigers in 00 and I would be stunned if they are not shrunk down to N fairly soon in due course - especially if the already announced JIAs are a success. I am certainly after some of the modern types, but I would also be very tempted with the originals, though probably in the later blue livery. cheers Ben A.

Steven B. On the same Speedlink theme, the S&C orange sets used to appear on Whitemoor-Norwich SLK trips as well, usually just a single set of 4. They were also seen under repair at March Marcroft. I will certainly be in for a pair of these, one loaded one empty, as well as some blue ones. Wallet getting ready for a pounding. Scott 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gedlee Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Hi David, I haven't seen them announced yet. Ben and Mike often create maps to illustrate the working diagrams, across the country, that wagons have been used for throughout their history. They could be working on that before putting an announcement of the Revolution website. Cheers, Ged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope so Ged, I always enjoy the diagrams they put together outlining workings at different times of a wagons life. Thanks again for sharing the news.
