Not yet but Rome wasn't built in a day .

 

that period was getting to the point they were mostly the ridding style they are now

And it looks like my patience has been rewarded! I'll certainly be taking numerous 20/40 footers to sit on my KFAs and FSA/FTAs - particularly the older style ones.

Hi Arran,

 

With the new Farish 90 coming Dec/Jan, any news on when the flats will be released? Perfect running companions!

Original BR FFA/FGA freightliners for me please!

It'd take a brave manufacturer to take on the FFA/FGA given there's a well regarded model sitting in Bachmann's OO Gauge catalogue.

Arran has posted updates and shown EP samples on the =C=Rail= facebook page, and there's been a few over on NGN also.

HI All

 

A wee update on where this project is .

 

The first decorated samples are with me and they are OK for a first attempt , the Green and black has worked out well which was my main concern .

 

Some improvements next time in some tooling to some aspects of the tooling then it will be good to go.

 

Regards Arran

Thanks for posting those Arran. Very much looking forward to having something to plonk your excellent containers onto. I know these are only decorated samples but it looks to me like the wagon top in the first picture has a bit of distortion whereas all the others look absolutely spot on and flat as a pancake. Is that perhaps a trick of the light or an optical illusion? If not, is that one of the tooling improvements to which you referred in your post? Thanks!

HI All

 

These came to me in kit form basically so dont worry about assembly , they have plastic tops and metal under frames all the way to the ends  so they cant do what dapols did

Thanks for clearing that up so quickly, Arran. Based on how things are going, do you think the production wagons will be along sometime in 2024?
