Mike Storey Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yep looking forward to the Civil Engineers ones and the SEA's - they are on my shopping list along with the CO2's (and any future SPA variants) Looking to the future, some suggestions - these share the same chassis (I think and will stand corrected!) A decent OAA Sea Hare Sea Urchin Sea Horse And maybe further to the future perhaps the following, they could be of limited appeal though Cartic 4 LPG Tank ... perhaps just rambling now Brian Support all of those, but particularly the Cartic4 - it has only been available as a brass kit up to now, and when I contacted the gent, he really tried to put me off as I had no experience on brass construction. He was right - I gave up half way through making it. I believe there would be some serious commercial interest in this model. However, I recognise it would be down the road, due to some significant investment needed. Perhaps a decent Autic 2 in the meantime, in MAT and STVA liveries? - only the HO Electrotren car carrier comes close and I am unaware of any kits available. The LPG tank would be useful - there use to be an inaccurate, but good enough bogie tank with British Oxygen livery, no longer available. It would go well with the CO2 and SPA wagons, as metal foundries also needed supplies of this, such as Cardiff Rod Mill and Sheerness Steel. Anyway, file for the future!

girlinb Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Glad its not just me with a half finished Cartic kit then! I built a O&K Yeoman box wagon from the same supplier and it turned out ok to be fair but the Cartic was another story! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Flynn Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi all wagons coming together 1200 if you are asking for a specific date I cant say but as soon as the land they will be sent out. Hugh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub39h Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Just ordered one of each of the wagons. Not sure if they're geographically correct for my purposes but happy to support a new company and the models look very good. I will be ordering the Dutch livery ones as well. I too would like to suggest the PTA wagon as a future release, or a prototypical version of the KHA wagon that Lima used to make - the one with the ribbed canvas cover like in the link below: http://ukrailwaypics.smugmug.com/UKRailRollingstock/K-Tops-codes/KIA-steel-carriers/i-dKK8mVK/0/L/KIA_33704666032-6_Newport_311006-L.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliepetty Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 As someone with a little experience of the Chinese and our two contacts, the yousee twins! I understand Hugh's frustration, so everyone PLEASE don't hassle him as it is out of his control, our contacts always say 'youseesoon' and youseeshortly' which apparently must have a different meaning in Chinese? You will I am sure get them as soon as Hugh, gets them. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Flynn Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hi Stephen I have had an update today saying things should be confirmed next weekend. And Charlie is right it is out of my control patients is required there is no worry they are coming. On another note I have counted pre orders both plain Railfreight are 50% sold so dont leave to late if you want any? Dave has recieved the sample wagons and should be with me by the end of the week.
