159220 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Model Rail now showing first CAD image. What page number please? I have looked over and over the magazine yet still cannot see the CAD. Brilliant it has progressed though, seeing at Warley they said they doubt it shall be anytime soon. Hopefully several yellow ones for a modern day engineers train soon!

slg Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Model rail magazine 218 has a small note about these saying more details early in the new year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slg Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Any updates please? Have you figures out the coupling issue yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Well, there was an update on their Facebook page in June which shows the couplings on the wagon. I haven't heard of any issue with the couplings. When I spoke to their representative at Model Rail Scotland in February, they were hoping to have the first models released near the end of this year, but as with all things, it could take longer than that to get all of the details right. I must admit that I am looking forward to these arriving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon A Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Interesting that the drawings on Facebook show air pipes bur no representation of brake gear or cylinders? Gordon A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks522 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Anyone know when these can be ordered? Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Interesting that the drawings on Facebook show air pipes bur no representation of brake gear or cylinders? Gordon A I'll guess that they just haven't been added yet and that the Salmon are still very much at the drafting stage. Of course some Salmon had neither vacuum or air brakes and I understand that it is the proprietor's intention to model all variants (un-braked, vacuum and air brakes along with the different bogie types as well). Anyone know when these can be ordered? Graham. Given that it looks like they are still at the drawing stage, I'll guess that Flangeway / Footplate Models won't be taking any orders until nearer the Warley show, when they will no doubt have confirmed production dates. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slg Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Any updates? Facebook page doesn't show anything about them since June. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I was wondering the same. I was hoping that someone would post an update after Warley, but I've heard nothing. Flangeway usually attend ModelRail Scotland, so I'm hoping to ask them there if there is no news before then since I'm looking forward to these. However, I suspect that no news means they are still some way off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyddrail Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I spoke to Flangeway at Peterborough, he talked about the variations on the floors seeking further details. He is trying to do a good job with as many types possible from the model. I didn't ask directly what progress has occurred. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I forgot to mention he was looking to model many small details on the floors where holes are present. Cheers. Edited December 17, 2016 by Lyddrail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I guess that means that these models are still at the CAD stage and it hasn't yet progressed to tooling, which means that delivery of the finished wagon clearly isn't imminent. If they won't be on sale in the first part of 2017, that should give me plenty of time to save up for a full rake of these (assuming I don't spend the money on something else in the meantime).

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 17, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2016 I forgot to mention he was looking to model many small details on the floors where holes are present. Cheers. When looking into the drawings for my YKA Osprey conversions - it turns out that the mounting holes for the upper stanchions are slotted to take into account that there are two widths to the floor for Salmons.......... Having said that - the two widths are 8' and 7'10", equivalent to 0.667mm in 4mm scale. Is that really worth worrying about? Will anyone actually notice? IMO - no.

Dungrange Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Flangeway are at Model Rail Scotland this weekend and I asked today what progress was on these wagons. It sounds as though all of the research and design work has now been signed off, but they still need to go through tooling, engineering prototypes etc, which means that it will now be 2018 before we see these wagons. Hopefully they will be worth the wait. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
