Wow, now this is a shock. Slightly regretting buying 12 of them now. Some serious thinking to do............

Received an email yesterday saying the order book was now open. Over 3/4 have been sold already, so gladly enough people have liked what they’ve seen so far to give this project the green light, me included. Looking forward to these.

Chuffed with the sleeper coaches, will be buying for sure.

Yay!!! So pleased to see the 56’s, will be ordering a number of these. Will be perfect for all those lovely new HAA’s that are coming.

I do get a bit tired of all the comments of people sticking the boot into KR. If people aren’t happy with the way the company operates or promotes products or whatever, why not just stay away/ignore the KR threads? I follow this thread with interest and receive notifications of new posts but most of the time when I come to read its just more of the same mud slinging. My layout is set nowhere near Tyne dock, but I live in Newcastle, so I like the local connection. To this end I’m very interested in buying the full rake of wagons. I don’t have the time/skill to make the required kits so these wagons will do for me, especially at the price offered which I think is very reasonable.

Does she come as part of the prize

Thanks for the update Fran, I’m sure a few more days won’t do any harm. Do we receive tracking numbers when they’re sent out?

Thanks for all the replies, and apologies for the thread drift, but in my defence I thought it was the same wagon hence why I sought some info. Cheers.

Thanks for the replies chaps. But for clarity, what is the wagon shown in this picture; https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/mdorebuiltrenumber/haadad5f

Saw these on Mr Bartlett’s, down the bottom of the page https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/mdorebuiltrenumber

Did some of the MDO wagons end up in engineers use as ZHO’s? Cheers.

How much?????? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274558769063

That picture of the shunter in C5477 is crying out to be modelled, would make a brilliant diorama. More great pictures as always!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133564887562 £60 per wagon, really? Don’t get me wrong they’re superb wagons but jeeeez.

Thanks for the update Fran. Apologies, I must have missed the bit about the ARC wagons arriving with the JSAs. Really looking to these!

Has there been any updates as to when these wagons are due for delivery? Has the issue with the ARC liveried wagon bodies been solved regarding the plastic warping? Presumably these wagons will be dispatched later than the other liveries? cheers.

Just want to add my name to the list of people that would have pre ordered if I’d known the project was dependent on pre order numbers. Please @Hattons Dave reconsider and let those who were on the fence to add to pre order numbers!

Love that last picture, looks very moody in the fog. Or is it mist?? Cheers

I know I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I love seeing shots from the Blyth and Tyne, it’s nice to have a connection to the pictures. I particularly like the shot of the Allan terminal, I used to fish there nearly every weekend with my dad or my mates when I was old enough. The class 56 in J8599 looks interesting. I don’t think I’ve seen a 56 with white window surrounds, was this common? Unless I’ve not been looking hard enough! Thanks again for posting.

Well I’m not bothered about the naysayers. I’m happy to say I’m in!!!!! Looking forward to seeing further progress. Best of luck!

Any news on how to pre order these wagons yet? Cheers.

Another great set of pictures David. Were those NSE coaches lost????

Fantastic news this! Being the proud owner of several of your awesome BBA wagons I’m sure these will be simply superb! Can’t wait. Good choice guys.

Pretty much as per @chris p bacon has in his link above.

Got a couple of nice shots from the Tyne in the sun yesterday. And one from Monday
