GMKAT7 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Good evening folks, As per my post this morning and as requested by Andy AYMod :), I have attached photos of my 'as-new' WoR NCB internal users in the company of my also unweathered 1509 pannier of Coventry Colliery. Also attached are photos of my Coventry & Warwickshire coalfield plus a selection of Warwickshire open wagon users. Most are Bachmann, as you would expect except for the Arley and Coventry Colliery ones which are Oxford. Also sneaking in are two Slaters/POWsides opens for Binley & Exhall collieries. The grey Griff one is a special for the Midland Railway Society, whilst the black Griff one is the new Rapido 5-plank open. Looking forward to the Rapido second run when the Lockhurst Lane Co-op one appears. As well as getting this lot dirtyficated I also have three more Slaters 6/7-plank opens to complete. Not sure whether to make these as more NCB internal users or go down the POWsides route for other Warwickshire collieries (Baddesley, Birch Coppice, etc). Cheers, Nigel. Edit: I forgot to include my little green Peckett, Forest No 1 in the photo, worked at Charity Colliery, Bedworth (doh!)

Northmoor MPD Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) My 5 arrived today, I must admit these have been my most looked forward to preorder this year and I’m pleased to say they do not disappoint! My NCB layout is still at the baseboard stage but these will definitely spur me on to get it finished! Thank you for producing these fine models Here are a few pictures I’ve grabbed this evening on my distillery layout…They look right at home with the NCB locos in my collection. My only regret is not buying more! :) Cheers, Adam Edited April 27 by Northmoor MPD 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted April 27 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27 (edited) If I had the RM tracking I could change the delivery etc. It's very odd these days for even low value items not to be shipped without the recipient being notified with tracking info.

Don't really need any more but there is no harm in wanting is there !!! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted May 4 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4 A heads up from a seller on eBay , no connection, that does removeable resin coal loads that fit these wagons. Although the listing states for Bachmann minerals, a note to the seller and he will amend his mould accordingly. Available un-primed as shewn or primed and finished. Recommended. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183773143575?var=691377887109 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
