Rammstein2609 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Good news for the N gauge modern image fan, the JJA Autoballasters are out from Graham Farish. I've had mines on pre order for a while now and it was worth the wait. They look fantastic and not a bad price for what you are actually getting. Here are a few (not very good) pics showing a five wagon formation. There is one flat top, one generator and three round top wagons in this train.

RMweb Premium richierich Posted November 2, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 2, 2012 Spotted them in my local shop earlier in the week. Fancy building a 5 car set. Nice with 37 174 providing traction. I wish that Farish (Bachmann) would do this livery, but with the overpainted Network Rail logos, because this livery represents quite a narrow period of time.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 2, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2012 They are generally still in the Railtrack llivery with many having the Railtrack name painted out. The Network Rail yellow ones are of a slightly different type with different bogies. I hope to be picking up 5 of these Railtrack ones at the weekend. They will be heavily weathered and will run with my N Gauge society kitbuilt Network Rail ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 11, 2012 I have started weathering and patching the new Farish autoballasters. Can't make my mind up whether to add the Network Rail logos which have been recently added on a white background to many of these. Updated with a better colour balanced photo.

Rammstein2609 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Looking good. What paint did you use to patch over the Railtrack lettering? The train I am modelling has the blue paint patches but no Network Rail branding. Cheers Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 11, 2012 Martin I had a tin of Phoenix Precision paints Chiltern Railways blue which by chance is a pretty good match. All five have now been patched. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
