They were the first "goods trains" that I remember and I'd accumulate a full rake in advance of extending the layout so I can run full trains when I do.

Couldn’t agree more with this! I’m hoping for the x2 container variants used with Freightliner for their Binliner services. Would go great with the green FEA’s. The GBRF ones have carried the Gypsum blue containers already produced for their PFA’s too… common rodders Accurascale, you know it makes sense 😁 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatofludham Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I've probably mentioned this before (along with the NIR 80 class) but I do think there is room in the market for an Accurascale FGA-FFA original Freightliner flat especially now Bachmann seem to have put their models to bed. Given they ran mainly in fixed 5 car rakes (although some were later shortened) and the way Accurascale offer bulk packs I could see a five car boxed set of bare container flats (given the availability of loose containers on the market) being affordable and popular. A five car pack would be fine for smaller layouts whilst those with larger set ups could run 10-20 at a time. Even if Bachmann do remember they have the models in their range, I would expect Accurascale to be more competitively priced and if sold in 5 packs at least you'll have a complete rake rather than the Bachmann situation where you can still get the FGA pairs but FFAs are rarer than hen's dentures in a pile of rocking horse dung. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrakeCoach Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Since Fran mentioned a "small announcement" and the video isn't up and scheduled to premiere as we are halfway over the week, I can think of two(or three) updates that can be made: Buckjumper fully decorated samples (Can't wait for the matte smokebox!) Class 30 Mirless sound demonstration maybe NER 20T hopper decorated samples? All of which seem to be a bit behind others but are all scheduled to arrive in the first half of this year. Looking forward for these :) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
