adds-trains Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Hello! My picture hunt continues, I am looking for any picture of the real life wagon of this model: Bachmann 38-271A. I have found images of the wagon without the snowcrete wording on the logo but I need a real photo of the wagon that shows all the words on the board. https://www.hattons.co.uk/34576/bachmann_branchline_38_271a_22_ton_presflo_in_cement_marketing_board_snowcrete_light_grey/stockdetail.aspx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim.snowdon Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) Like this - One of 66 wagons built by Metro-Cammell in 1963, numbered PF163 -228, for APCM Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers. Found by searching Google for Cement Marketing Company. Searching for wagons by referencing Snowcrete turns up nothing but pictures of the model, which does leave me wondering if there is an element of manufacturer's license in the livery (not unknown). Even the Airfix kit for the Presflo doesn't make any reference to Snowcrete and it is far closer to the time when these wagons were still fairly new.

hmrspaul Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The board with the addition of SNOWCRETE on the centre line, either side of the logo existed. Dave Larkin negative W4669DL [APCM 8700 formerly PF 100][Sep. 74] Of course in b/w but the colours look realistic. Snowcrete written wagons - Presflo and Cemflo were relatively rare compared to the plain finish. Dave has several other boarded APCM PF wagons but they don't have this addition.
