Trains4U Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) In 2020, our exclusive Cavalex Models OO Warflat wagons were delivered, and whilst they have sold successfully, we still have a fair number left. One of the comments we most often heard was "I'd buy some, but there's no proper vehicles to put on them" In order to reignite sales of the Warflats, we considered options for appropriate vehicles that would complement them. With that in mind, we have commissioned several designs that can be produced in-house on Resin 3D printers. As of today, we have three types of vehicle, with a further 8 (including variations) being released at Alexandra Palace on the 18th of March 2023 . The news of these vehicles has been posted to the Cavalex Warflat thread, but as the range is quickly growing, I felt that they deserved to be put under our own banner. Each main vehicle type will have its own thread - with vehicle variations kept in the respective topic. Whilst the vehicles have been produced with 1:76 (OO) scale in mind, some are also available in 1:148 (N) and they can be produced at different scales on request. All vehicles are supplied unpainted and require some finishing and assembly. The range today consists of: British Army Series 3 3/4t GS Truck - Soft Top 1970 - 1995 £12.50 (Released 18/03/2023) N = 2 for £15.00 British Army Series 3 3/4t GS Truck - Hard Top 1970 - 1995 £12.50 (Released 18/03/2023) N = 2 for £15.00 British Army WMIK 1999 - 2008 £10.00 (Released 18/03/2023) N = 2 for £10.00 British Army EWMIK 2006 - 2020 £10.00 (Released 18/03/2023) N = 2 for £10.00 British Army RWMIK Unarmoured 2009 - £10.00 - Available Now N = 2 for £10.00 British Army RWMIK+ Armoured 2010 - £10.00 - Available Now N = 2 for £10.00 CVRT Spartan (Early) 1978 - 1995 £12.50 - (Released 18/03/2023) N = 2 for £15.00 CVRT Spartan (Early) with tool chest 1978 - 1995 £15.00 - (Released 18/03/2023) N = 2 for £16.50 CVRT Spartan (Late) 1990 - 2020 £12.50 - Available Now N = 2 for £15.00 CVRT Spartan (Late) With Tool Chest 1990 - 2020 £15.00 - (Released 18/03/2023) N = 2 for £16.50 Jackal 2 (Prepped for Rail Transport) 2010 - £15.00 - (Released 18/03/2023) N = 2 for £TBC Jackal 2 (Mobile) 2010 - £15.00 - (Released 18/03/2023) N = 2 for £TBC Images below show 1:76 scale (OO) vehicles, assembled and painted.

billywhizz Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 With the Hattons / Accurascale Warwells now arriving what is the possibilty of some Bedford MK/MJ and TM trucks. Surely these were the back bone of the British Army in the 70’s, 80’s and into the 90’s. PS. Placed a preorder by phone a few weeks back but not had a call yet to take payment. Cheers Bill. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

South-East Rail Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I ordered some of the new Warwells on Wednesday and they arrived this afternoon. Great service from Trains4u and the wagons look excellent. Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted April 5 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5 One for the loading experts, before I secure any vehicles to my warflats are any of these combos a no no? I’m planning on doing this combo but would any of these be possible, I’m thinking real life weight distribution being a factor Could the Spartan be carried on a warwell if I went with the first combo?

RMweb Premium Steven B Posted April 7 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7 Yes, the Spartan could travel on a Warwell if needed. The weight distribution is an interesting question: Landrover RWMIK - 3500kg Jackal - 6500kg FV103 Spartan - 10600kg You'd need to see what difference in axle loading is/was allowed.

The list on here shows different prices to the website which does not have all the items on the list either. I'm holding off on ordering the N Gauge stuff I want until I can be sure about the prices!

You could probably even out the axle loading with careful positioning of the vehicles, assuming the overall weight limit/axle loading is not breached and there is sufficient room to position both vehicles as required.
