RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted October 2, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hello everyone Congratulations to KR on this announcement! The Palbricks have been creeping up the echelons of the 00 Wishlist Poll over the years and were only just off High Polling in 2019 (the last Poll to run). The wagons are certainly a type I want for my own layout. Brian (on behalf of the 00 Poll Team) 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Great to see this wagon to be finally produced in 'oo' gauge rtr and the 3 pack price is very reasonable. Also great that KR have had confidence to go to tooling before announcing. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrushVeteran Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Fantastic choice of a short lived but iconic wagon of the sixties......................a few packs of these will be required! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 This interesting. MacGeordie of this parish did a limited release etched kit of this wagon last year. I built his 7mm version. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredo Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hi, on the website it says the brick wagons are expected Q1 2023 but on the leaflet I picked up at the Electric Train show today it says Q1 2022, which is correct. Thanks Fred 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted October 2, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) If the photos on their website (and advert in BRM) show test models from the tooling then 2022 makes more sense. edit - the date in the advert is 2022.

I thought I was doing well building one in 7mm. John Edited October 2, 2021 by brossard 5 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 There are others here, I am sure, who have favourite photos in books that feature these, and I will for one be after a good half dozen as a fitted head. Well done, KR. Thank you. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covkid Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Am i correct in thinking a few Palbricks survived as EMU coupling translators but with sides missing ? I am thinking of the wagons used to transfer the 507s and 508s to Mersey but also possibly the 317s when brand new. Back in the days when BR were happy to haul brand new trains around the network without brakes. Please help my rusty memory. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold zr2498 Posted October 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 3, 2021 It would be nice to have brick loads available. And perhaps some steel coils? 4 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Fred I've received their latest newsletter, which covers the two GETS announcements and for the Palbricks it's definately early 2022 as they state it in words as 'expected early next year'. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought a bunch were converted (with sides missing) to freightliner translator/match wagons, rather than EMU. I posted a photo of one in the freightliner FFA/FGA thread.

CoombeTown Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I attach some pictures of the EP that was displayed at GETS yesterday. It's a nice model, reasonable weight but not too heavy, partly down to the steel wheelsets. Pleasing detail on the underframe and with kinematic couplers. Definitely going to be an order from me. 4 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Downer Posted October 3, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 3, 2021 I’m interested in these, but uncertain about the price. The price quoted on the KR website is £60, but there’s no mention I can see that this is for three wagons. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bricks in the photo look as though they could be silica refractory ones (used to line kilns and furnaces) rather than the common or garden house brick. Torpedo ladles were (and still are) consumers of large numbers of such bricks. Edited October 3, 2021 by Fat Controller Added content 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If KR don't decide to do them, surely one of the 3D firms will spot an opportunity. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w124bob Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) The palbrick barrier wagon conversions were used where a freightliner set might have been split, one end of the palbrick had a simple bar coupling to match the inner end of the freightliner sets. The wagons were airpiped but otherwise unfitted some were even painted in blue(hint hint KR), it would be a worth while addition to include a bar style NEM coupling to match the inner ends of the Bachmann FGA! Here is the relevant page from Paul Bartlett's excellent site. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/palbrick note the coil conversion as well.

I was off on another track !!!! The Merseyrail match wagons were Stanier brakevans IIRC now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
