I thought they had also run with the Castle JPAs, but alas I cannot find a photo and the more I think about it the Castle ones always run in a set rake don't they?

Shoey Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 With the later style Castle Cement PCA’s, there are two different slogans on the sides. “Building a better environment” & “Heidelberg Cement group” are these year related or were they in mixed rakes from the start?

There are mixed rakes back to at least to 2005 (still checking) And not forgetting that there are three versions of Heidelberg cement group branding. Small lettering - two positions and larger lettering. Edited July 19, 2022 by newbryford 3 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to go to specsavers I think! 🤓 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium scissors Posted July 20, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 20, 2022 Received my two packs today. I must admit they are even better than I thought they would be and my expectations were already high. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted July 20, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 20, 2022 I’m having a bit of a heart attack, I’ve ordered VTG Castle (Packs P through U) on the feeling that they were still a couple of months away. Can someone give me a date as to when they are likely to hit the shelves because I might have to do some serious budgeting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accurascale’s own site shows most are not too far from selling out either. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave56 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Got a second batch of these yesterday, to go with the others I got from the original batch. They are a stunning model and so well put together not a single small part was detached. Keep up the great work Accurascale can't wait for my class 37's. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Walker Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I've just finished added a further 6 off Castle Cement wagons to my original rake of 15 off. These have CIAB markings to the ends of the tanks to differentiate them from the original ones. Can you spot them in the video below, as the train passes the depot on my layout. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tony, Lovely video. What sound decoder did you fit that Vitrains 37 with? I think it's good but something a bit louder is coming very soon.... Cheers!

I'm guessing that your 37 will be mighty, so can't wait until October to get one and see and hear what it's like in the flesh, as it were. I have 8 of them on order, all bar one with sound, 5 with you and 3 with Rails. So, roll on October and December. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadnt realised an EWS one was released too, and the fan grill and windscreens threw me. Loving the video as always! Cheers! Fran 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
