Hi Fran Many thanks for the reply. Will look forward to the announcement so I can order some :-) All the best Darryl

Good afternoon all. A couple of quick questions: 1) does anyone know if any one sells the NEM buckeye couplings used on the PTA (and Dapol yeoman JHAs) 2) will accurascale do CAIB Yeoman PTAs? Many thanks Darryl

Hi Adam, thanks for the replies. Also notice that 'LIFT B.O.' is missing from next to the balanced maintenance sticker on the Hanson production samples. Also, I don't suppose there is any chance of you doing the National Power JHAs to go with the 59? (Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty please 😊). Many thanks Darryl

Aye when new and stationary, and not being used, just like disc brakes on a car. First brake application and the rust will be cleaned off.

Hope they don't leave the discs brown, as they should be silver/ clean

They are exactly what I'm after mate

Does anyone have any damaged / surplus air dams they do not require? I'm after some for the tie down eyelets to modify the Dapol (and Lima/ Hornby) class 59s. Many thanks Darryl

I've just been looking at pictures of 59101 and it seems it had them in its ARC days but it looks like it had them removed in its later years as images if it in Hanson livery have them removed. Maybe accident damage at one end and they were removed?

Hi all, does anyone know where I can buy the cab end tie down eyes from? So I can add them onto one end of 59101 and both ends 59206? Does anyone know why 59101 only has them at one end? Cheers Darryl

One thing with the bachmamm NP HKA wagons is that they never operated with NP 59s. The wagons were JMAs with different bogies. Hoping with the ARC JHA announcement that they may release the NP JHA variant in time

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

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

I'm unsure why Dapil are releasing nearly all the liveries in N gauge but only five in OO. Regards Darryl

These are now ready to pre-order :-)

HIA 14m over buffers according to Freightliner website IIA 15.193m over buffers according to Greenbrier website so at 1:76 scale difference of 15.7mm
