Lots of votes for the wessex

but whos taking notice i wonder

[43179]

Having trouble thinking of any more wagons that fit this thread - there must be some more - as its mostly locos and units being suggested..

 

The MGR family is the only wagon type that springs to my mind - obviously has alot of mileage with liveries, conversions(to ballast wagons) , CDAs , canopies - even as 'reach' wagons - yes there is a model currently available , and a relativly new one at that - but personally i think its one of the poorest of the 'new' models , and things have moved on rapidly since it was released . Its a key wagon type that really needs a second attempt - and suits the current trend for producing lots of different running numbers for people wanting to build up proper rakes..

[Glorious NSE]

Mmmm, it's interesting that N scale already has two nice modern models, both of which are better than the only 00 one.

 

Livery wise for the HAA:

 

Bauxite (Hop32AB)

Bauxite (HAA)

Railfreight Red

Coal sector yellow (huge logo)

Coal sector yellow (ickle logo)

Mainline blue

Loadhaul black?

Did any get Transrail repaints?

EW&S

EWS

Saltire blue

 

Plus - most of the same variants with canopies added too...

 

CDA (although it would be nice to have a model of a CDA available rather than an HAA with a poorly tooled top plonked on it)

 

ECC blue

Unbranded blue

EWS

(plenty of one-off combo's you can do between the last two as well with different setups of frame and hood colour)
