Accurascale staff Accurascale Fran Posted March 13, 2021 Accurascale staff Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) MELTDOWN - NEW PFA LOADS GO NUCLEAR! Our humble PFA went down a treat when they arrived in stock 12 months ago, with modellers loving the variety of loads we produced, with coal containers, gypsum containers and low level nuclear waste containers (LLNW) offered in our first run. It was the latter load which sparked an absolute sales frenzy on these wagons, with our low level nuclear waste container wagon runs selling out in rapid time. As a result we looked closer into the nuclear traffic carried by our PFAs, and have now developed FIVE new interesting containers to represent the wide ranging nuclear traffic these wagons have operated on for DRS for over 20 years, right up to current operation. Six different packs, including an Accurascale Exclusive only available from us direct, featuring Dragons, Novapaks, Nupaks and more. £74.95 per 3 pack, with 10% off if you order two packs or more! Due Q4 2021 Read all about them here, and well done on those of you who guessed correctly: https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/accurascale-meltdown-new-pfa-nuclear-packs-announced Cheers!

97403_Ixion Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Absolutely fantastic news! I enjoyed watching the WOR announcement about these fascinating wagons. I'm sure there'll be an order coming from me No doubt they'll sell well, especially the Dragon ones. Cheers, Ixion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) A few pics showing examples of the trains in question, credits etc. in the Flickr links, none are mine. I am pleased by these announcements, would have liked some of them available as just containers but I understand you're in the selling wagon business. Primarily the 2031s given the size of those trains. Edited March 13, 2021 by TomScrut 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugs Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 1. This is amazing news! 2. Please tell us you're gonna be selling the loads seperately? (I have plenty of wagons, but some load variety would be wonderful) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid the only way we could make this a viable project financially is to sell them as wagon packs, so it will be with wagons only I'm afraid. Cheers!

Selling the loads of the 2031s might sell you more wagons. I have 6 PFAs I'd be willing to buy loads for and add a pack or two of wagons to for the long container train, but I don't think I'll be buying 3 or 4 packs from scratch to make that train. Dragon and nova/nupaks are a different situation IMO as they are viable trains in their own right for a single pack making a relatively inexpensive train.

As explained, we looked at the numbers, it didnt stack up as loads on their own tooling up 5 new containers, so wagon packs it is. Cheers!

Accurascale staff McC Posted March 13, 2021 Accurascale staff Share Posted March 13, 2021 there's also the point that each PFA is customised to it's particular container - the actual real wagons have carried the containers that they are loaded with and they have updated lettering for their time period and nuclear warning symbols as appropriate. The earlier LLNW PFAs are not quite accurate in finish for most of these new containers 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed one of their yet un-announced projects is this, more patiently waiting. Great announcement and sure they’ll fly off the shelves again.

Accurascale staff Accurascale Fran Posted March 13, 2021 Author Accurascale staff Share Posted March 13, 2021 Hi everyone, Thanks for the feedback so far. We had a feeling these would be popular! Here is a visual of the packs available. Pack 1 with the Dragon container is the Accurascale Exclusive, with the other packs also available direct or via your local stockist. Cheers!
