RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted October 23, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 23, 2009 New RTR Wagon by "Real Track Models" by Arran original page on Old RMweb __________________________________________ ??? posted on Fri Oct 09, 2009 5:16 pm HI All A new name to look out for next year in the RTR market is "Real Track Models" The first wagon is going to be an FLA in OO as used by Freightliner to carry Highcube containers, the wagon is nearing the end design stage and the samples are expected in the first quarter of 2010. The first two batches of the wagon will be with and without containers and the liveries only available with the FLA will be MAERSK and will not be sold seperatley through =C=Rail= The two parties invold in this project are Me and MR DC Kits Charlie. The KD on the drawing is there because they hadent drawn the Tension lock at this point.

HI I don't have that exactly pinned down yet, but the Mid ?‚??20.00s looks close for the wagons only, it depends how the exchange rate goes.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted October 23, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 23, 2009 Looks very good. Absloutly no use for the layout, but will certainly end up with a couple of pairs to go with my freightliner fleet.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 25, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 25, 2009 Arran Is this going to be metal or plastic for the main chassis? Hopefully the start of some more wagons too? Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted January 30, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2010 Couple of tiny pics of the latest CAD design on p10 of the Feb Model Rail, hoping to display an engineering sample at Model Rail Scotland end of Feb.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted February 1, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'm pretty sure that I am right in saying that the information on the Realtrack website for the history of the wagons is incorrect in that it says operated throughout the 1990s Given that the pairs of wagons that the model depicts wernt introduced until 2004 and are apparently completely different to those from the 90s batch. Still, does look like its is going to be a fantastic model, just wish that the prototype had been introduced a year earlier so I could justify some.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted February 7, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2010 They arnt out yet.... And I suspect it will be a while still given they are only on the first test tooling. I think I read that the aim is a summer release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Walker Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I asked a guy on the DC Kits stand about them yesterday, at the Stafford show, and he said they would be out June/July, so a bit longer to wait. Tony. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Simon Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hi, There was an test sample on the DC Kits Stand at Stafford, it was a bit hidden by the container that was sitting on it Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Craig Watson Posted February 8, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hi, There was an test sample on the DC Kits Stand at Stafford, it was a bit hidden by the container that was sitting on it Simon You should have asked to see it without the container! I've had the test sample in my hands a few weeks ago and it's nice, Arran posted some pics of it over on the DEMU forum a few weeks ago. The pics can also be found at http://www.realtrackmodels.co.uk/CurProd.htm It will be on Charlie's stand at glasgow too. Cheers Craig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arran Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 HI All Just an update on the wagon, the second sample will be with me soon which I hope can be the one we approve =C=Rail= will have the next Highcubes this week, which are the Safmarine and the P&O Nedlloyd. I was on a research mission today and got all the extra info I required for the refer. Regards Arran Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted April 24, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 24, 2010 Got my hands on the prototype at the Epsom show and it looks very good, nice metal subframe, and nice detail. Charlie said latest estimate is September and the next test shot is due soon. Definitely going for a few of these on this basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decorated samples are expected shortly (Some delay in the original samples due to various modifications) when these are approved then production begins. September/October look a fair bet as we speak.

martin_l_jones Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Lots of positives printed on these wagons based on handling the prototypes. Have they hit the shops yet ? I notice Kernow have them listed but as still 'on order' They are a bit pricey at '£29.99' per set, is the detail as good as the Dapol Spine Wagons ?

Southernman46 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 They are a bit pricey at '£29.99' per set, is the detail as good as the Dapol Spine Wagons ? You do effectively get two wagons for that price and they have come from over 5,000 miles away - REALTRACK are a small supplier and probably can't absorb certain costs into their overhead. Having looked at the prototypes in the "plastic" - these will be worth every bit of the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Fisher Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Charlie had pre production on display at Wolverhampton today and they look very nice ..worth every penny if you ask me. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Charlie had pre production on display at Wolverhampton today and they look very nice ..worth every penny if you ask me. Ian The New Hornby Flats will end up about £24.00 Each so buying two is £48.00, the REALTRACK pairs are £39.99 per pair loaded, we are getting 1000 models and probably Hornby are getting 10,000. Shouldn't theirs be cheaper then! And our containers are correct!!. PPS See & buy at Warley from REALTRACK (STAND B27A) next to DE Videos/DC Kits or via the stockists during December!

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted November 9, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2010 Soon to be seen on Dragons Den, or was it Bettys Cafe! Now that would be worth it just to see you up against the Dragons I'd actually watch that episode. Better send one of my minions over with some dosh as I'll be on the layout first thing just in case.
