Gazza Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hi I have built the Genesis kits KFA Warflat. I found it quite easy to assemble using solder for the main components and superglue for the minor bits. I would say its one of the easier to assemble Genesis kits. Hopefully the photo of it is attached. Colin warflat 006.JPG Hi Colin, can you tell where did you get your transfers from cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Are any companies still making modern AFVs or suchlike, they all seem to cease trading pretty fast ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadmill Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Cromwell Models are still trading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moggs Eye Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I didn't have much luck with Cromwell Models, but I found S&S Models, http://sandsmodelsshop.com/product/cvrt-sultan-command/and have ordered a Sultan from them. I haven't seen it yet so I can't say how good the kit is. GRA Models, www.gramodels.co.uk do a very nice resin FV432 while Revell make an excellent Warrior if you fancy poulating some Warwells.

The Bigbee Line Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 In the 1980s I had to go to Folkeston East and secure the chains on a number of the newer WARFLATS. Not sure what vehicles had been delivered. The chains were laid across the deck and secured by nails bent over. What a job, the wood was like hard rubber.... No pictures though, shame.

Fat Controller Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 BW Models are now being done by Matador Models; this is what they've re-issued so far:- http://www.matadormodels.co.uk/new_kits.htm They're also doing the various unit transfers.

KeithMacdonald Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I wonder if anyone ever found RTR models of Ramp Warflats like these in Paul Bartlett's pics?

RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted April 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) I built a few Warflats and a couple of Warwells a few years ago using resin Warflat bodies found on eBay and Wild Boar Fell’s 3D printed Warwells. The Warrior is RTR by EasyModel with a scratch built cradle. The other AFVs are resin models from SandS Models who, I am happy to confirm (after my initial erroneous post), are still in business.

If the ramp wagons are the ones I'm thinking of (four wheels with a removable axle) they are not used for carrying anything and are just to enable the vehicles to drive off of the train if there are no facilities such as loading banks.

amandalee Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Ive 3d modeled a ramp wagon recently. To go with the other tank carrying wagons I do. The 1 wheelset isnt removable though. Google bygone wagons for more..... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) I believe there's still one in Haverfordwest yard; it still appears to be there in the 2021-dated photo on Google. To update on this:- Last week, Alan Border published some views of the Haverfordwest ramp wagon on the 'Railways in South Wales' Facebook pages. From these, it turns out that the wagon in Pembrokeshire was not one of the British-registered wagons, but a German-registered wagon of similar conception, but different design.

Trains4U Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) I can't believe it's almost 10 years ago that I started this thread... Well, my idea of gathering a few wagons to form a decent MOD train certainly took a dramatic turn... Edited June 28, 2021 by Trains4U 7 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
