RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted November 16, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) Hi everyone, No, not the EEC, ECC! Due to a deluge of requests from modellers, and to mark the recent withdrawal from service of the real wagons, we are delighted to announce an all new run of our beautiful CDA hopper wagons in the iconic English China Clay (ECC) livery as they first appeared in service in early 1988. Can it get any more classic Cornwall than these? Check out our launch blog of these wonderful wagons on our website: https://www.accurascale.com/blogs/news/we-join-the-ecc-original-liveried-cda-china-clay-wagons-on-the-way As you can see in the photos above, our CDA wagons feature a wealth of detail and crispness which signifies 'The Accurascale Way'. A diecast chassis, brass bearings and 26mm pinpoint axles means smooth running and excellent performance on your layout. Particular attention has been paid to the detail differences over the traditional HAA wagons these were based on, such as the equipment at the wagon end, holes in the bodyside on one side, the underframe and of course, the hood/canopy. Given the flexibility of our tooling we can also cater for those wagons as built as CDAs from new, as well as those converted from HAA hoppers, giving the modellers a true variety in their wagon rake. Tempted? At a price of just £79.95 for 3 wagons, and 10% off when you order two packs or more, why wouldn't you be? Remember, you can pre-order direct for no money down, or spread the cost between now delivery via our monthly payment plans via partial.ly for no extra cost! As you can see, the decoration samples are complete and have been signed off, allowing for production to get underway. Pre-order yours via your local stockist, or direct below for a Q3 2024 delivery.

RMweb Gold JohnR Posted November 16, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2023 What exactly is the difference between the various packs? Other than the obvious difference in livery between pack A - E and F-H ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Only last week people were asking for all new china clay wagons, and - kaboom - accurascale provides! Well done. (Mind you, not sure if they really go with the Port of Par). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered, because the blurb says the tooling takes account of the difference between "as built" and "modified from HAA", so I wondered which pack was which. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mevaman1 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I am a very happy man. I have been waiting for the unbranded ones and didn’t fancy debranding ECC models. They’ll look good on my layout ‘Carlyon Dock’ 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium alexross42 Posted November 16, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 16, 2023 Very nice! Should certainly overcome the scale height oddities offered by existing models of these.... They will certainly look the part behind 50149 too 😍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same but reading the blurb again I think they’ve copied and pasted the text from the previous release which included the coal variant. For example….. * Two styles of sprung buffer: Oleo (coal variants) and heavy duty (CDA) * Three different chassis frame variants for HAA, HDA and CDA versions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
