Ralph Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Colas have 10 on order http://www.railwayage.com/index.php/mechanical/locomotives/colas-rail-orders-10-ge-class-70-powerhauls.html not sure on the livery just looks odd, the colas yellow clashes with the end warning panel yellow.

Classsix T Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The black roof should hide the scorch marks quite well. Forward thinking from Colas there. C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I've got a couple of intermodal video's from yesterday to follow when i've uploaded them, 1 of which is a service i regularly mimic when loading containers But for now, here's 66250 (was that EWSs last 66?) with some aggregates and some strange conveyer thing in the middle of the set up. Next post will contain containers i promise! Enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 As promised, some containers C-Rail Hapag Lloyd for comparison along side a prototype 40ft square ribbed flat data panel box. The 20ft version is also gracing my computer table and is equally impressive :) Not yet available to buy but they will be available from Wild Boar Models http://www.wildboarmodels.co.uk/ along side the rest of the fantastic models he has designed. These are going to be a huge hit with those of us wanting to model 80s containers! Cheers WBF! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Goldfish Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Matt the strange conveyor thing is the Lafarge self discharge train How does that work then? The rest of the wagons looked like normal hoppers to me, or are they hiding bits inside? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 There was a model of the Self-Discharge Train that was to be seen on the exhibition circuit a few years back; I think it was built by members of Barrow-on-Soar MRC; there was an article about it also in Model Rail, when that was a centre-spread in Rail.

Hi, I remember seeing this model on Redlands Sidings - built by SVMRC. The self-discharge train was built by Adrian Lambourne. He is responsible for the superb Loch Tat.

The Freightliner one is 4L85 Matt. The KTAs are rarely all the same in terms of accumulated grime. One the other week looked straight out of the paintshop. The lo-rider flats also appear in various states of cleanliness. C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhall Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Good stuff, cheers guys, great pictures Dan. What will they think of next?! Its not all that modern, at least 20 years old I'd guess, there was a drawing of the unloading wagon in a Modern Railways at the time of introduction, and IIRC one of the (numerous) RAIB accident reports involving them had some quite useful details of the hopper wagons. There are (I think) three different types. Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 The new flat data panel containers have been painted up and their first side of Transfers are setting so i thought i'd share a pic Links below to the prototypes they're loosely based on as a guide. The blue 'Trans America Leasing' box is my favorite, i think i've done a passable job of the patchwork on the side! This box has also been modified to attempt to work with the cranes.....but we won't know if it works until Basingstoke in March. http://www.matts-place.com/intermodal/part1/images/tphu4528373.jpg http://www.matts-place.com/intermodal/part1/images/mmm/gstu3901944.jpg http://www.matts-place.com/intermodal/part1/images/mmm/icsu4519770.jpg The TIPHOOK logo looks a bit off in the pic, but that's just an annoying trick of the light. Hopefully they all dry on soon so i can do some more, awkwardly low on Dull-Coat though..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all of my 1 visit to Felixstow there was not a 45 to be seen anywhere. Adds more variation to the service, but I can't recall any 20s on it.

Satan's Goldfish Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Very nice containers and video there Matt! Cheers Swifty, they are lovely new boxes. Both sides and back done a dull-coated now, transfers are on the doors, just door bars a 1 last dull-coat to go. Transfers on square ribs is a worthwhile challenge!
