Penrhos1920 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 My 4 SPA's have just arrived and despite the gloom mongers predictions they are in my eyes very good renditions of the real thing. I know that I could not have achieved what Hugh has done to get these models made for us. An excellent addition to my Railfreight trains. Thanks Hugh and looking forward to more Railfreight models from you. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Storey Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Look what has just arrived down at Beresford Junction.... 20141215_210949.jpg Looks really good. Phil Can't say I agree. That looks nothing like a VDA. Although of course I have no interest in them and would never buy one - not suitable for my planetary system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs4 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The only negative I can see is the huge amount of packaging Hugh...for one wagon.... Well, that's what I told the powers that be anyway, ridiculous for one wagon... ; // Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs4 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 But seriously,....... No silly tissue paper on the boxes that literally is as good as a chocolate teapot. So, in the season of goodwill, when does the butchery start ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbles2 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 You know me, love brake disc inserts. I've "had to" weather two axles and fit discs (cco7w) image.jpg I like the discs you've fitted, could you tell me who makes those please as I would like to fit some to my SPV wagon when it arrives. Does the (cco7w) mean something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mevaman Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have just received my order for 8 and am genuinely, really pleased. I have been checking details with Paul Bartlett's photos and honestly cannot see the problems highlighted by other posters to this thread. Anyway, to my eyes they look like an SPA. I was worried whether they would look too 'plasticky' and have seen the BRM review comment about the base colour being a little on the glossy side. However, I think that the finish is spot on for a newly out-shopped wagon. See Paul's photo of 460021 at Shildon in 1979 and the finish is definitely not matt. I give it 9/10 and it is miles better than the Bachmann OCA. Only my opinion! Andrew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

45059 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Happy to report that my 7 were waiting for me when I got in from work, although when I removed the brown paper wrapping to reveal a box for Wellington boots I was a little concerned for a moment that someone had bought me some wellies! (The result of your box shortage Hugh?) Having seen Nick's pictures with the discs fitted I may do the same, as I keep meaning to pull my finger out and order discs to fit to my Mk3 fleet. I'm yet to get them onto my layout, but upon initial inspection I'm more than happy with them and I'm looking forward to further FTG releases.
