Tony Walker Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Will these new PFA's be fitted with instanter coupling, as per the previous batch. These wagons run beautifully using the instanter couplings and therefore look very realistic. The above pictures only show the normal tension lock couples. Just wondering, as I will have to order a few packs of the instanter couplings if not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Yes that type of thing generally is categorised into low level waste, the containers end up at Drigg where they are stacked up in controlled areas which when filled get covered over. The waste stone from local quarries gets loaded at Barrow docks and runs top and tail to drigg with a hired in set of boxes when required. Flickr is a superb source of inspiration for recreating all the different nuclear workings and the various DRS traction that has hauled them. I’ve settled on Maryport for a future layout and the low level waste containers run there to reverse to head back to Sellafield. Its fair to say the lads at Accurascale have made my layout plan rather interesting with wagons I didn’t expect to see RTR and of course some rather nice 37’s Fran please remind Gareth we need 37716 or 37038 in fade livery too at some point. thanks Mark 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @66540Ruby, Many thanks for your order! Our announcement for these packs contains information on workings https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/accurascale-meltdown-new-pfa-nuclear-packs-announced Also, there are some good pics on the previous pages of this thread that may help? @Simon Bendall recently published an excellent article on the subject too https://www.keymodelworld.com/article/pfa-nuclear-waste-traffic Cheers!

69843 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Given the Deltic and PFAs are now due at around the same time*, hopefully there won't be a leak and we get a glowing Gordon Highlander-it's bright enough as is! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Harris Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 On 13/03/2021 at 11:48, Accurascale Fran said: MELTDOWN - NEW PFA LOADS GO NUCLEAR! Our humble PFA went down a treat when they arrived in stock 12 months ago, with modellers loving the variety of loads we produced, with coal containers, gypsum containers and low level nuclear waste containers (LLNW) offered in our first run. It was the latter load which sparked an absolute sales frenzy on these wagons, with our low level nuclear waste container wagon runs selling out in rapid time. As a result we looked closer into the nuclear traffic carried by our PFAs, and have now developed FIVE new interesting containers to represent the wide ranging nuclear traffic these wagons have operated on for DRS for over 20 years, right up to current operation. Six different packs, including an Accurascale Exclusive only available from us direct, featuring Dragons, Novapaks, Nupaks and more. £74.95 per 3 pack, with 10% off if you order two packs or more! Due Q4 2021 Read all about them here, and well done on those of you who guessed correctly: https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/accurascale-meltdown-new-pfa-nuclear-packs-announced Cheers!

Michael Hodgson Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I had thought the wagon running numbers of the PFAs were all different, but it seems that set 1 (Accurascale ref 2093DRG) and set R (reference 2085DRSR) both include wagon number DRSL92779. Not unreasonable that the same wagon should carry different containers of course, but I'd prefer not to duplicate running numbers in my fleet.

Unfortunately the packs represent every single DRS wagons altho the duplicate is depicted in a much later period. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To achieve the variety of containers which I would wish, it looks like I will end up with two wagons with the same number, which seems pointless as I won't run them both at the same time. There could be a potential market here for one-for-one swops with other forum members. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The duplicate is a result of the packs representing the entirety of the DRS fleet, so the pair are represented at different ends of their life span, carrying nuclear containers that would not have run together anyway (hope that helps) 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, which ones? I really like these models - having seen a number of the half-height ones, albeit not on wagons... What with the KUA's, with so much model fuel around, I can see I won't need lights or a loft heater to enjoy them over colder months! Thanks, Ixion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
