Tango was actually the standard code word for - 'Leave granted provided you can make satisfactory arrangements without incurring any additional expense. Advise all concerned' Which might explain why the LNER was worried about confusion in case men booked out on one thought they were headed for a day off! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 46444 Posted May 10, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 10, 2023 Here's my three Palbricks refinished. I used Tamiya NATO Brown airbrushed over Halfords grey primer. A coat of Halfords satin lacquer was then applied ready from the excellent Cambridge Custom Transfers decals by John Isherwood of this parish. The transfer sets are ready made up and just need carefully cutting out from their sheet with a sharp scalpel. Johnson's Kleer floor polish helped to set them in position. Once dry a further coat of Halfords rattle can lacquer helped to seal them. They are now ready for weathering.. Excellent service from John as always. The Cambrian Shark ballast brake van just in shot also has Cambridge Custom Transfers applied in the same manner. Cheers, Mark 14 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, There's two small crosshead screws underneath which separate the chassis from the body. The chassis has some weight on it by the way. Hope that helps Cheers, Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KymN Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 My sets of each type are here (From Rails). Beautiful wagons full of character. But not only are they unsuitable for children under 14 years, they are unsuitable for fumble fingered old men (me). I use Kadee couplers, and the KR tension locks need a lot of force to remove. I spent a lot of time crawling around the floor to find a missing buffer dislodged in the process, and the triangular bulkhead braces fell out of several of the open sided wagons. I finished up cutting off the ends of the tension lock NEM 362 fishtails to get them out without breaking something in the removal - there are a lot of fragile bits. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HExpressD Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I'm tempted to get some of these, I have only heard good things about KR wagons between this thread and the Consett ore tippers one. I'm a bit odd though, as in I would probably 100% get a pack if I knew it had those odd pink wheels, I quite like product oddities like that! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Palbricks carried two major flows:- House bricks from the London Brick sites at Fletton and Calvert mainly to the London area. Refractory bricks from various, widely scattered, specialist manufacturers. These would be for furnace, ladle and other linings. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatloaf Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I got one of the JK limited edition ones today from ROS. Have to say its a nice wagon. Plenty of wieght to it as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteremy Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 For the record my brick loads arrived. I am not an expert on 3D printing but they appear to be rather low grade 3D prints, with as much striation as intended detail. So not very realistic - I will have to cover them with a Tarpaulin and use them as 'covered loads' in something else. Perhaps someone else will produce a better version. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted July 19, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2023 Credit where credit is due. I received excellent customer service from KR Models. I informed them that I was missing one staunchion from one of my Palbrick wagons and I requested a replacement. I was expecting an envelope with a spare staunchion, but instead KR Models sent another complete wagon. Many thanks KR MODELS. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
