SouthernMafia Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Looks fantastic...I do not need to buy 5 more ! I'm glad you've mentioned the paint shade, it looks a little limey and not yellowy enough IMO, appreciate difficult with camera/monitors/phone screens etc. and they were obviously very clean when brand new.

lyneux Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Hi Fran, They look very nice. I'm excited to be on the order book for these! Regarding the paint 'tweaks', can you confirm which colours you will be tweaking? Is it the main mustard colour? Having spent a lot of time photographing this shade I can understand that it looks quite different in different photos (it's not very tolerant of the colour casts on photographic film from the period). Also, the under frame grey looks a tad dark too (when compared to the grey of the ARC lettering for example). Could be a trick of the light though since that area is more in shadow in the photos? A couple of details that people might want to add (aftermarket) are the buffer locking collars and knuckle coupling pole on the outer wagon buffered end. They were often missing from the wagons though so no problem not having them. I never got round to adding these to my ones either! Cheers, Guy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMitchell Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hi Fran These are looking fantastic. Can you confirm that the axles will be 26mm over the pinpoints? I know this was an issue with the Cemflos. regards, Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 8, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hi everyone, We hope you are enjoying the Bank Holiday and reflecting on VE Day - let’s celebrate and be thankful for the sacrifices made by so many. To add to the celebration, it's time for another PTA/JTA/JUA reveal! Today it is our other British Steel pack, the original and iconic grey and orange livery, synonymous with the triple headed Class 37 and double headed class 56 trains between Port Tolbot and Llanwaren as well as Ravenscraig trains. These have been our most popular sellers of the PTA/JTA/JUA production run so far, and it is easy to see why! We are not sold on the grey, and it is getting tweaked before production. We cant wait to see a recreated 37 triple header! Cheers! Fran 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growling Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hi Fran, Absolutely echoed on VE day. A good decision to run the Inners on these then. All versions look great. For such a heavyweight wagon amongst wagons it's a surprise they haven't been produced to such a standard before now but hopefully you can capitalise. I presume the grey needs to be darker maybe? They look a little bluey on the photos but that maybe just the light. Good luck with their production. Rich. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndon Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 They look great and they are the ones that I have ordered but I can see why you are not sold on the grey, it does look a little too blue. Wonder if I should try and recreate this: Photo courtesy of Terry Hutton. 1 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 8, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2020 Yes, there is too much blue in the grey, but will be corrected! Cheers, Fran 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hi Fran, I’m really glad I took the decision to order a 10 wagon set of these in the grey/orange livery to run on Newlands Park. Might even put the 85 on them for the Hardendale workings. Whilst the grey looks a bit light in the photos it’s probably not a bad shade for creating the work worn faded weathered look these wagons appear in. All the best Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hound Dog Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Rookie question - would these “grey” and orange wagons be used for the Hunterston - Ravenscraig runs when they were top and tailed by Class 37’s probably during late 70’s / early 80’s ? .........seem to recall them thundering thru our local station when I was waiting for the Evening Times newspapers to arrive for my paper-round........

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 9, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hi everyone, Check out our latest decorated sample reveal of our lovely PTA/JTA/JUA wagon range, the VTG grey pack! The VTG liveried wagons reflect the final years of service of these wagons from the mid-2000s as they were repainted in VTG livery and used on spoil, sand and sea dredged aggregates trains behind a variety of traction! Cheers! Fran 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shedmaster Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hi, I spent many years hauling these around to and from Cliffe/Crawley/Stewarts Lane etc and always thought they had an excellent brake, it just worked! The couplings played a massive part in a really smooth ride with these, no snatching etc. For me, my choice here was a Heljan Class 33 (83301) or a pack of these for my layout, you can see clearly in your pictures just exactly what I've been saying we need for a long time.... Accurate modern wagons for our accurate(ish) modern Locos to pull, so Thank you so much for these. Looking forward to these arriving as my order has just been placed... Kindest Regards, Shed. 3 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yes, I dont think the top and tailing lasted long and instead they often added an extra loco at Mossend for the steep part round to Ravenscraig 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 11, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 11, 2020 Good morning one and all! Today is the last of our PTA/JTA/JUA reveals, but we did save a popular one till the end, the iconic Foster Yeoman livery! Our first release focuses on the second yeoman livery for the PTA/JTA/JUAs, with the beautiful big block Yeoman logo with its famous blue background. Once again the printing and paint will be much sharper on the finished models, as will fit and finish. They are now in production for a September delivery. As with all the tippler packs, you can order them direct via our website for a September 2020 delivery. Cheers! Fran 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
