cromptonnut Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 VEA van? Exactly what I needed, thanks. Good price, just need to find out expected delivery. With this and the Heljan VAA wagon that should solve 75% of my freight needs... just need to figure out whether the milk tanks will suit my time period or not and if so that'd be 100%.

31A Driver Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 O gauge is getting more and more tempting. Must resist! Andy 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crankycalf Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 as tempting as they might be, were there any prototypes at the show or just pictures of the real thing? If only pictures it will be Warley next year before you see them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

43179 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Smart choices , I wonder if Dapol will be doing a 7mm type 5 to go with those coal hoppers in the future - Missing a huge trick if the HAA isnt shrunk down to 4mm as well though - the Hornby one is dire. Wish i'd gone to warley now ! tfn Jon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Dave, can you clarify please? 7F-049-001 VEA 12t goods van (Vanwide) Freight Brown #230012 7F-049-002 VEA 12t goods van (Vanwide) Freight Brown #230030 Presumably one is "early brown" and one is "late brown"? Why? These are VEA not vacuum braked vanwides. So only the later freight brown is suitable http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/vea The photograph (that I assume Andy chose) is NOT a VEA, it is an unrebuilt VB one in conservation, without lettering.

I'd even try a kit option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon about £3000 (recession, what recession?) and about 26 feet. Now I know why, despite my liking for 7mm, I stick with 2FS! David 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I collected 36 of Bernie Taylor's N gauge coal hoppers many years ago, and with a pair of 37's on the front I seem to recall that was about 7ft 6" and barely fitted in my fiddle yard.

BR_Blue_1986 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 May be expensive, but I hardly ever drink and quit smoking a year ago...and if better health and a 26ft coal train in the garden is the result... That's a good reason not to smoke any more 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 May be expensive, but I hardly ever drink and quit smoking a year ago...and if better health and a 26ft coal train in the garden is the result... That's a good reason not to smoke any more A pack of 100 cigarettes at my chosen supermarket seems to be around £40. So that's 150 smokes per wagon. Obviously depending on your daily consumption (and, of course, if you add alcohol to the mix) length may vary, but if you start saving up now then by the time they're released you can buy your coal train in one go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR_Blue_1986 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Well, when I used to go out and get drunk at weekends I could spend loads...I went to see an AC/DC TRIBUTE band at a local an spent £125 (and felt very fought the next day at the Peterborough model show!) but if I did that every weekend that's 500 a month! I mean the cost of alcohol and cigarettes with fuel on top is terrible.. I wonder how many they will produce of each wagon? Will they tease the market at first?
