Simon Bendall Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 There's going to be a duplication of numbers at some point though as DRS only had 23 PFAs. I guess we're looking at a scenario of the same wagon number with old and newer markings. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted March 13, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2021 Can I ask what the time frame is for these wagons as I could be interested but only if they are current. Best wishes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Hi Fran, Excellent choice I’ve just ordered a pack of Nupak types and will be adding a Dragon type as well. Perfect for my Cumbrian Coast layout. I can see the Pack 4,5&6 joining them as well. Our Rainbow Railways trade order will also follow shortly. All the best Mark 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hodgson Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Well after my time period but I had to place an order for two of these. There'll be an order for the half height ones too in due course. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
25901 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Have ordered 4 of the packs but have a quick question about the half height ones. If I use them prototypically do I have to bury them in the garden for a hundred years after I have used them once.

RMweb Gold ruggedpeak Posted March 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) I'm not convinced the models are as accurate as they could be. When will we get the realistic glow in the dark feature on the containers? Have 2 packs on order and trying to resist the full height containers!

KDG Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Ahhh good work fellers. These look wonderful. You're making it too easy for me to spend Mrs KDG's fripperies budget on toy trains, but she will understand. Being spoilt this year for modern image stuff. Long may it continue. You'll be doing the new build FNA's then next? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham108 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Are the loco headlights flashing because they're broken, or because it's pulling nuclear waste? Graham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham It’s an effect of the refresh rate of the lights and the frame rate of the camera. in real life they’re not flashing at all (or rather they’re flashing faster than the eye can see) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted April 27, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27, 2021 Hi everyone, Our new range of PFA wagons featuring an array of interesting low level nuclear waste loads are progressing well with new samples arriving for assessment. This time it features details such as threadplate and lifting eyes which look very pretty indeed. We are very happy with these additional details so we can now progress onto decorated samples. The factory is currently preparing these for us and we hope to show them to you in the coming weeks. These interesting wagons are due in Q4 2021 and are the perfect short train for the current era. The Dragon pack is an Accurascale exclusive, only available to order direct via our website. All other packs can be ordered via your local stockist, or direct from us. Cheers!

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted June 2, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2021 DECORATED NUCLEAR PFA WAGONS BREAK COVER! Hi everyone, Hot on the heels of yesterday's announcement of our new batch of coal container and half height nuclear PFA packs, we can bring you an update on the new range of nuclear PFA wagons. As you can see, we have received a full list of decorated samples from the factory for assessment. Once the decoration is applied you can fully appreciate the colourful variety these new loads will bring to your layout! We are also delighted to report that our models are on schedule and still on course for delivery in Q4 2021. These packs make for the perfect current and privitisation era short train, with a great mix of heritage and latest traction that can be employed to provide traction. Packs are still available to order at £74.95 per pack, with six different packs available. Five of these packs can be pre-ordered through your local stockist, with the Dragon pack an Accurascale Exclusive, only available direct via Accurascale. Order here: https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/pfa-2-axle-container-flat-wagon/availability_pre-order? Cheers! Fran 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purnu Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 These are looking very nice indeed. I’m so glad to have an order in place but now I wonder if I may be able to justify another pack? At this rate I’ll be posting pictures of my wallet going into ‘meltdown’…. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
