RMweb Premium Crepello Posted March 13, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2012 Great stuff--that CCT has been a long time coming but will look good with the GUVs on the parcels! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin1985 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Which type of Polybulk is it? The Grainflow ones, like the NGS model? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The CCT and horsebox will be very welcome indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Very pleased with the CCT which is the BR variant which I remember so well covered in grime in the parcels bay at Crewe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu from EGDL Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hi Guys; Can't see a Polybulk bogie hopper retailing for £11.95 RRP. Possibly just a typo. Nice list of releases though. Later; STU from EGDL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Which type of Polybulk is it? The Grainflow ones, like the NGS model? More likely the one they previously announced in 00 which was the earlier, shorter ones with swing tops which will be a useful addition rather than a duplication.

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted March 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hello, The Farish polybulk is the shorter version with the swing roof in Traffic Services livery. The NGS version is the longer one in Grainflow or Scottish Malt Distillers liveries. cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gummy-Joe Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The CCT will be a very welcome addition to my fleet. Thanks Farish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreamnos Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The CCT will be a very welcome addition to my fleet. Thanks Farish Yes, thanks Farish...now that I've already gone and purchased a dozen or so Lima (1:160) CCTs second hand over the years...but not always at second hand prices!

BernardTPM Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Don't worry, the Lima ones are 1:148 too. Just sit a bit higher on their axles... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreamnos Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Don't worry, the Lima ones are 1:148 too. Just sit a bit higher on their axles... Really? That is good to hear; thank you. They are excellent models and hold their own against more recently released stock. I thought the Lima British outline range was 1:160 and so I'd always assumed this was true for the CCTs. It occurs to me I've never actually taken my PECO scale rule and measured one. Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The early Lima models were a mix of scales (or, in a number of cases, just a repaint of overseas stock), sometimes mixed within the same model depending on whether you measure length, height or width! The later rolling stock models were pretty accurate1:148 - the GWR horsebox, brake van and inside frame Siphon G and the BR CCT. None of them perfect, but good for their time. Until at least 2013 it's unlikely that there will be any better version of that type of Siphon or horsebox (BR horsebox is different, of course while the Chivers kit is an LNER design - always nice to have a bit of variety!)
