9402 Fredrick Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Any idea what comes in the detailing pack for these? I'm curious to see if the ones like Robert and 71515 come with any buffer beam detailing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matabiau Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Does anyone know what the mysterious black panel accompanying Robert is for? According to the literature included in the box each model comes with accessories corresponding to the prototype it was modelled on. Some come with detail to add above the buffer beam where relevant, it doesn't say which ones though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tim Hall Posted August 14, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2016 Mech Navvies has the same. No I don't know what the black panel is either..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 It is a representation of the inside motion. Slide it in under the boiler into the space over the chassis block. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 71515 has now arrived on "No Place" and has been chipped. The delay was due to it arriving the day after I went off on holiday and having to wait for my return- Sods Law strikes again. With Hornby 49 behind. Parked up in front of one of the Geisl pair. First impressions are that it runs a lot better than the Hornby ones, but might be a little more track sensitive. However the derailment is at a point that catches out quite a few of the No Place Fleet and doesn't happen every time (as did with the Bachmann 64xx). As a result of 71515 arriving the last of my pristine Hornby J94s is going on eBay as soon as I've photographed it, found the box and restored its address to 03.

9402 Fredrick Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Any idea when the weathered ones will arrive as I do want to get one of the two heavily weathered ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted August 29, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2016 A couple from me, looking rather pristine in its surroundings image.jpeg image.jpeg That it will be weathered at some stage is certain, just what livery it gains before that is in the balance. Only had time for a quick look so far but first impressions are of a lovely looking model, nicely finished and very nicely presented in its box. Very nice too. I do like a red engine.

Hi 9402, The remaining releases should arrive with us on Monday and will be available for purchase once they've all been checked over - Wednesday is a likely date.

RMweb Gold griffgriff Posted September 2, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2016 Ooh that's not good. It certainly isn't. A 50% rise in the cost of shipping a container across the Pacific in a single day... I wonder who's going to cover that? Griff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who's going to cover that? Griff We are, of course, in increased costs of everything we buy as this adds to the fall in the value of the pound. Not immediately as a lot is paid in advance, but over the next few months the extra costs will work through. Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
autocoach Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 In just a few years new "Silk Road" standard gauge railway line from China through the central asian "stans" and Turkey to connect to European railways will really upset ocean container freight traffic capacity. Only Africa and the Americas will require container traffic to make ocean voyages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Africa and the Americas will require container traffic to make ocean voyages. It may, but as the cost of shipping a container from China to Tilbury by sea is still less than the cost of getting that container from Tilbury to a warehouse 50 miles away by road it also may not..... Just a thought Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Africa and the Americas will require container traffic to make ocean voyages. Ken maybe not.... Most of Asia and the bits south need container traffic too! I'll be interested once they get a standard rail link from China through Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, through to Papua New Guinea, down through the Torres Strait, across into northern Australia! Poor kiwis might be a bit miffed as there seems to be a big jump from Australia to the north island! Yes this was tongue in cheek but container travel will still be happening for the foreseeable future. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor kiwis might be a bit miffed as there seems to be a big jump from Australia to the north island! Yes this was tongue in cheek but container travel will still be happening for the foreseeable future. You can take a freight car anywhere. A long time ago I worked for Crowley Maritime which owned Alaska Hydro-Train. AHT tandem towed 100 X 400 foot barges from Seattle Washington to Whittier Alaska. 8 tracks on each barge, chained up to 80 US railroad cars on deck a voyage. 1200 miles across the gulf of Alaska with sometimes 20 foot seas. Twice a week at the height of the oil boom in Alaska in the 1980's. A tandem tow has the second barge behind the first. There are two tow lines with the line to the second barge fitted with diving planes to go under the first barge. 6,000 HP 8 man crew tugs. Never lost a barge. Kiwi's would have to standard gauge their narrow gauge track. Edited September 4, 2016 by autocoach Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
