RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted January 20, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2022 My rake is made up of all the first and second batch releases, apart from the one (maybe two, I can't remember!) where I removed the strengthening fillets in the top groove, to match the prototype of that particular number wagon, I couldn't tell you which wagon came from which batch !! In the latest batch, that's the same tweak that Dapol have done to the model !! They're a nice model to work on, they come apart and go back together easily. Just bear in mind, they're pretty heavy !! Cheers, Phil. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"HIA Carlisle" thinking there's a chance of one being WCML south of there. Key thing when searching Flickr is looking for the place where people are likely to be taking photographs and work from there rather than where you want the thing to have been. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Before the blast furnace at Redcar closed for the last time there was traffic in HIA’s from Harrison’s to Redcar! It was sometimes recessed at Kingmoor so did not always use the curve at Upperby! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz9284 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Does anyone know where you can buy the correct size buffers for the HIAs? The ones on the models are 5mm wide x 3.4mm high, but on the wagons they are 550mm x 270mm, which would equate at 1: 76.1 as 7.25mm x 3.55mm. regards Darryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz9284 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 George at S Kits sells them. The accurascale ones would fit onto the HIAs by cutting off the existing buffer shank on the HIA, drilling a small hole into the buffer beam and then gluing them in place. Unfortunately accurascale don't sell them as spares Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCML100 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Can someone help me please? Looking to build a good rake of HIA’s but trying to work out numbers i will need.

Dapol order codes of models are 4F-026-xxx, so shouldn't be too hard to research.

Also want to get a good variety of numbers to avoid uniformity 😃 Just make sure that you don't order two Dapol numbers the same then. Also if you want a mix the latest batch are slightly different tooling. In all honesty unless somebody has it written down you'll probably have to do your own research on what Dapol number equals what wagon as most people won't care on the wagon numbers are so long as they are different. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted December 4, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 4, 2022 I have a rake of 12, these being the first two batches of 6 that were released, so all different numbers. IIRC, only one of them needed the the 'ribs' removing to make the bodystyle prototypical to the number. Cheers, Phil. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, didn't you post a pic with the entire collection of white HIAs on delivery to the Peak Forest area? Probably the only time that this occurred?
