RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone, Our latest announcement sees us returning to an old favourite long since unavailable and something that was subject to high demand last time out; the Castle Cement PCA wagons. The first run of these wagons sold out in super quick time, and there has been demand for these wagons ever since. We are also offering them in original Castle Cement livery too for the first time! All wagons were re-liveried in Castle Cement livery in 1996 for use on workings to London – initially to Kings Cross freight depot and then to the freight facility at Saint Pancras from 2003. Since 2013, a number of these wagons have also been used on workings between Clitheroe and Avonmouth which they serve on to this day. Transition from original to revised Castle Cement livery took place in the early 2000s and have since featured a variety of branding variations which our models faithfully capture. As you can see, the decoration artwork for this new run of wagons is complete and we are due samples soon. The modern Castle Cement liveried wagons features all new running numbers from the first run too, so perfect for complimenting existing wagon packs! Delivery is slated for Q4 2021 and packs are priced at £74.95 each, with 10% off when you buy two or more packs (automatically added at the checkout!) Demand is expected to be high for this production run, so pre-ordering with your local stockist or direct is advised. You can pre-order direct right here. Cheers!

And you only need 6 PCAs to make a prototypical working.... 12 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Walker Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Great news Accurascale, I can add a few more to my current rake now, see below. Please ensure they have the instanter couplings fitted, as these wagons work really well with them, there's no need for the small tension lock couplings. It will also allow me to swap out a couple of interlopers in the rake as well, have you spotted them! Edited May 18, 2021 by Tony Walker 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIAM Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Great news, love these wagons. Transition from old to new Castle livery actually started as early as 1998 as this great picture on Flickr by Bill Atkinson shows. 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Great news, have ordered two sets of early livery Castle. Hope they match the set I made using a previous late livery release, with Fox early livery transfers. I spent ages taking off the late livery printing, should have waited. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted July 13, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2022 Hi everyone, The PCAs have now docked and we expect them into our warehouse by the end of this week, with shipping out to trade and customers taking place next week! It's great to have these back in the range, and they sold out quickly in Castle Cement livery first time round. Now they have new running numbers and the older 1990s-early 2000s first Castle Cement livery is offered for the first time too. Order via your local stockist or direct right here: https://www.accurascale.com/collections/pca-bulk-cement-wagon/availability_pre-order? Cheers!
