Rambler Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Tucked away in the News section of the Lionheart website is the following: Also I have just received the 3D drawings of the Company open wagons for me to review listed below:- Great Western 5-plank open wagon to Diagram 029 Morton brakes London Midland 5-plank open wagon to Diagram D1666 Either side brakes London North Eastern 6-plank open wagon to Diagram 3 Morton brakes All the above are 17'-6" long on 9'-0" wheelbase, with both doors as separate parts so providing more internal detail and can be positioned open if desired. If these are as good as the RCH Mineral wagons then I foresee serious wallet damage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be up to the expected Lionheart standard and I am preparing to open negotiations with the exchequer, which could be tense as I have just received the invoice for my DCC sound-fitted Heljan Western. There is just too much good stuff to buy these days. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted October 18, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 18, 2013 Christmas is coming too. And with a bit of luck the Fowler loco as well to pull the GWR wagon !! If Chris is going to buy all of the Lionheart wagons does that mean the next Ixion locos will be LMS and LNER . . . . . ? ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev_Lewis Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I see that Lionheart are now planning to produce tank wagons. These will be available ahead of the 5 planks. From their Facebook page: .....here is something new on the wagon front. We shall leapfrog the 5-plank open wagons with some tank wagons based on the Air Ministry design of 1939.... The Class A used for aviation fuel will be offered in two versions, these were later converted after the war to Class B by the installation of heating pipes, and bottom outlet discharge pipework, operators ESSO and SHELL/BP used these converted wagons up to the mid/late 1960's, so just embracing the steam/diesel transition period.CAD's are all approved and toolmaking is planned to start in a couple of months with samples later this year and production early 2015 There's also a good selection of CAD drawings on the Facebook page There goes some more of my hard earned cash!

Dreadnought05 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Any news on these coke wagons? I saw the post about them not making Telford, has anyone heard anything since? Additionally, when they become available will they be on the website, I can't see any means of preordering currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheart Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hi Dreadnought05, The production is complete, just waiting for my shipper to give me costings for air or sea shipment, if sea by the end of October and yes I will have them available on the website. I have changed the interior colour slightly so looks much better even better if weathered. Thanks for your interest Lionheart 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenwall Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Everything appears to have gone very quiet, is there any update on this? When the tank wagon was announced it was said these would leap frog the opens, well the tank waggons are making good progress (see the Lionheart facebook) One would hope the opens are chugging away but of course may have to wait their turn for funds and/or slots to progress to cutting metal or getting production runs.

Jack Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Interesting to know if the opens will still go ahead now the merger has been announced. I tried asking Lionheart direct but didn't get a reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
