You must have been busy, how many do you sell?

The RHTT is fantastic, top quality.

Cheers,  must have taken a fair while to design them?

Dapol FEA-B wagons, weathered up.

Minature Wunderland is mind-blowing!

The gypsum boxes worked a treat, just wish the cost allowed me to get a proper rake like "rs4"

Cheers, EC

Top gear was epic, so when do you want to finish your rake?

Wow, should be such an impressive rake!

Okay final post,

Modifications to make the older style:

And weathered TEC:

Thanks again Wild Boar.

I have just finished painting one, thought I would show you. The detail has come out very well.

Mine arrived today, very impressed. Are you ordering 36 of them?....££....

At last!

I am painting them tonight, will post pics on Friday.

Thanks to Wild Boar Models, finally an accurate gypsum train.

F1 2014 first test today, gypsum containers should be great hopefully.

Wow, smart loco!

Great work so far, very interesting design.

Very well constructed.

Last night I ordered the first seven Gypsum boxes from i.materialise.  Any idea on delivery time?

Wow, you must be proud these look top quality, I must order them soon!

Hello again Wild Boar, having a good new year?

Any news on the gypsum boxes...

Cheers.

Neat work, looks great.

Run the model today, very impressed. Great job, detail is excellent.

Forgot to mention, difference between 3 and 4 is simply the BG logo plate, structurally the same, Cheers.

Hello Matt,

Thanks for your photos of your 80's boxes, You have done a good job with the transfers too, and the patch painting on the blue box. Only thing I can think to add is some black squares to represent the forklift lifting points?

 

Armley Road,

Thanks for your comments, for now I plan to make the 3 main variants, 

Full height,

Shorter 7 rib

Shorter 9 rib.

Hopefully they will be available if they turn out okay.

 

Which is the other variant as I may have missed them?

 

Also I found this yesterday which proves they don't all have to be blue!

Regards,

Wild Boar Fell

Hi Wild Boar, that is great news. As you may know, DBS don't tend to have the "Tectainers" but more often the old types. Here are some images of the four types I have seen, do you know when this projected would be completed (ready for sale)?

Hello Matt, 

Sounds good, I look forward to any photos of them finished.

 

I have managed to get a little more done on the Gypsum box today with more detail and some alterations (fortunately there are no locking bars to contend with).

For comparison yesterdays effort is shown in blue, I think the new one is alot closer when compared to these photos

If anyone can spot anything please let me know. (I know there are some little fins missing off the roof).

Edit; after seeing pictures 4 and 5 who now wants battenberg?

These Gypsum containers look excellent, very accurate. Are you making the four types or just one? Will you be making them to order?

Nice building work, will follow this thread.

Speechless, , epic modelling!

Great work, great layout too, interesting one to follow.
