And these appear to have been chosen because only they became Freightliner Match, and they worked with the person trying to rebuild one as a Palbrick. Yes, they mistakenly used a photo of a Palbrick B in advertising (mine!). I didn't know that they were making a C. Paul Well, that puts a whole new spin on the issue, I might now have to get a few to mingle with the McGeordie b's. Mike. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Just received mine from Rails. One wagon looks like it took a trip through the skip at Dulux but the other two are all right, except the factory has painted the white from the tyre sides on the flange instead. I scraped it off thinking it was overspray before realising what they were supposed to have done. 3 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something here? Has anyone worked out what KRM were trying to represent here? The model looks as if it was painted by someone on a mind-altering substance!

montyburns56 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 It looks like it's been used to test the various stages of the painting processes and then was accidentally put in with the production batch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted April 26, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2023 I've realised what it reminds me of - at more than one car marque owners club national meeting, a car has been plonked in an arena and a load of water washable paints provided for the kids to do their best with. This looks like the one that even the kids were embarrassed to have created... 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted April 26, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2023 I guess if you buy from a retailer rather than direct you can ask them to check before dispatch. Must admit I kept faith with the original GT3 and was glad I did, but I was considering Palbricks and after seeing this would only part with my hard-earned via a reputable retailer who can check.

Trains4U Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 The bodied wagons are actually quite nice to be fair. I might look and see if the harlequin wagon can be improved somehow i think replacing the axles would be a great first step. we don’t have huge numbers of them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted April 26, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2023 I feel for any retailer that has to advertise these.......not a good look......in fact, why accept them once you can see they are flawed.
