muddys-blues Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hi, I thought I would update my previous post on the Bachmann / Genesis kits RNA barrier wagons that I have done to go with my Bachmann FNA, since these pictures I have detailed the ends further with air control pipes. I just need to get some Fox transfer when I put a bulk order in and them weather them all to suit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

97403_Ixion Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hi mike tugsandsheds, only jesting on my part!! Personally, I think it's good to see people's model photos on here. It alerts us all to new releases and gives an early chance to view before buying. Just glad to be able to help others by posting them too. I think the colour scheme suits the wagon well. It makes it look a little brighter than the standard wagon. I gather there is only one in real life - probably to advertise DRS, much like the Loadhaul and Transrail vans of the past. Hope yours arrive shortly - I'm sure you'll be pleased with it. Cheers, Ixion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 10, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 10, 2011 Is 550011 still in blue? A source informs me that it's back to unpainted. Has anyone seen it recently? Cheers, Mick EDIT - A search of wwwagons gives 37038/20308 with 550011/550015 on 6M60 Seaton-Sellafield. A picture of same train on same day - http://www.flickr.com/photos/modernimages/5951125250/ Anybody know the date it was "depainted"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted December 15, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2011 A work collegue ordered the blue one for me save me joining the collectors club, its sat in my pigeon hole waiting for me now, looking forward to getting it whenever im back in work (using up my a/l so not been in for 2 weeks with at least 5 more days to go!!) here are a few pics of the real thing, looks like the model needs red buffer shanks adding as i say i only worked it once, here i am entering chester with it from valley (photos by dave bramley, used with permission) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike tugsandsheds Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Mine's arrived, although given Jims research a visit to it with a fine brush and some red aint will be in order I think I will also keep this as a single wagon so that full detail can be applied at both ends.

RMweb Premium richierich Posted February 3, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2017 For traffic in the late 1980s / early 1990s, is the 38-346 the most appropriate with round buffers? Do all FNAs today run with ovals? Any ideas when buffer conversions took place? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merfyn Jones Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 For traffic in the late 1980s / early 1990s, is the 38-346 the most appropriate with round buffers? Do all FNAs today run with ovals? Any ideas when buffer conversions took place? I model 1989, and my collection of FNA photos shows a mixture of 50/50 buffer types. Looks like they were built that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
