RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted April 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2014 We have seen the Arbels running late September last year so if they have been mothballed it must be fairly recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted April 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2014 I saw 4 sets running on Monday night on the way from London to Didcot (they were heading the opposite direction). IIRC they were behind an EWS 66. Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted April 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2014 Greetings all, just a quick note to say that i worked from home on Tuesday afternoon and saw a single Arbel set head south from Crewe behind a class 92. Best, Nik. Unless things have changed these wagons used to be maintained at Allerton depot in Liverpool, so it may have been a recently serviced set being returned for duty. Cheers Ben A.

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted February 3, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2017 Aaaaand it's thread resurrection time! Ordered a set of these from EPs web shop as the price is terrific, far undercutting Shapeways since their price hikes on WSF a while ago. Happened to see a significant rake (not sure how many, the traffic lights changed, but at least 6 sets) behind an EWS 66 at Winchester last week, they had badly applied "DB Schenker" logos in white rectangles on them. Wish I'd got a picture as I can't find any online of them in that guise. Must get around to badly building mine! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted February 4, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2017 I should build another couple of sets at least. They generally run well but we just have too much stock on Banbury as it is so they don't don't get used at every show Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted February 4, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2017 That's my issue! I've now got 3 sets to build, but already got more stock than fits on the layout. That, and a 6 week old baby meaning time spent playing is limited. Apparently a paint fume filled garage isn't an appropriate environment for him! I do like the ingenious construction though, I was presuming they'd need some additional weight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Harvey Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 4mm wagon kit designed and ready to go, the problem is the wheels as they need to be 8mm dia, until that's sorted the project is not going anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
