Regards, John. Appleby John Yes, I have just recently seen the new transfers thanks. I am backdating the hoppers 4A which still have the ICI letters. With them being unweathered and I plan to convert to preTOPS, then there are quite a few extras needed as they will be lightly weathered. The names on the axle box covers for example. The plan is to use existing hoppers (older versions which I also have ) to generate the new transfers. I will let you know how I get on as something new for me.

Dave A less detailed 2mm scale one is on Shapeways. Maybe the designer could be encouraged to upscale and add the extra details suited to the larger scale. https://www.shapeways.com/product/5BZBQN2SS/plateback-bogies-for-ici-hopper?optionId=63668570&li=marketplace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garethp8873 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Several years ago I had the pleasure of my photo of SVR residing ICI Hopper 19129 being featured in the BRM magazine. Several years I was able to see it's sister hopper 19052 (3252) at Kidderminster Station today following a repaint this month. Really impressed with the job Edited December 7, 2020 by Garethp8873 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharrc20 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 The final models (ICI006DW) have now finally sold out on the Hatton's website when I checked not long ago. However, I received a wishlist email alert from Hatton's this afternoon just before 3pm to say that 1xICI006CW and 4xICI006DW had been listed in the pre-owned section for today.. by 7pm all 5 had been sold, so someone is a happy person. Clearly still demand for them still it would seem. Cheers Paul 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharrc20 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Recent sales on bay of E show the demand is still there for these models. A pair sold not long ago for £83+ and today one single wagon (ICI005A) with a removable stone load sold for £64 with the lucky buyer having an extra £4.20 postage.

Even the new HMag supplement on BR LMR train formations makes note that these models are highly sought after now. I would be very pleased if they did some more of the 4 and 5 coded versions and pretty please the Summers, British Steel and later I.C.I. Mond versions of these slightly smaller wagons. Oh and do the diamond frame bogies with roller bearings fitted too. Cheers Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorks1 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the replies. The only photo's I can find (in use with the hoppers) seem to show ex LMS Dia.1/503 or 1/505 & the standard BR Dia.1/506 , would anybody have more detailed information, serial numbers etc. Edited October 12, 2021 by Yorks1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
