Hi, several retailers will be stocking the Railfreight liveried wagons from the second batch which is due to go into production shortly. Trains 4U in the previous post and Rails being two of them.
Hi, thanks. Yeah i'll order those. I just wanted to try and get the models from the first batch too.

Anyone have any Cavalex/Rails' Railfreight BBAs (single or triple packs) for sale?
Please send a private message if you do. Thanks,

Been away for a while, missed the first batch and wondered if anyone is selling any of the Railfreight models (Rails' triple packs or the general release ones)? I can guess the answer but might as well ask.
Please send a private message if you do. Thanks,

Good afternoon,
When first converted a lot of the BLAs were still wearing their Railfreight livery:
Hope the links above to photos on Flickr help.
Much-appreciated.

No, I mean searching for "BLA":

Does not return that BLA photo you posted, amongst the photo search results.

How prevalent were the BLAs in Railfreight livery? I can't find any pics on Paul's website.
I assume they can be used with BBA, BAA and BDA?

Could we have a sub forum dedicated solely to commissioned/limited edition products? It makes keeping an eye out for such products much easier than visiting every retailer sub forum.
Each "thread" should only allow one post, being the opening post with details of the item. If people have questions they can ask in the retailers forum. This ensures the threads are ordered by product announcement, rather than constantly changing sorted on last message.

Very good point. If people buy pre weathered stuff from a manufacturer the weathered pattern tends to be the same so if you had a few of these type of tankers it would look ridiculous.
Tell Bachmann this with their latest TEAs!

The chassis on the PGA wagons was also metal.
I didn't buy any PGA wagons.
Am I right these BBAs are going to be higher-detail than say Bachmann's BAAs because they're metal?

So a special offer of only £99.99 isn't doing anyone any favours lol
Ask them if you can make a payment of £100 and receive 1p refund lol

This is referring to claims that subsection (1) does NOT apply to.
Yes, it is a double negative. Reworded:
It only applies to claims exceeding £100 or below £30,000

If you are referring to Crompton's post, it appears that Amex refused the S75 claim not because of the purchase value but because it was made via Paypal.
No I was just posting it generally

Consumer Credit Act 1974....
75.3.b says:
"(b)so far as the claim relates to any single item to which the supplier has attached a cash price not exceeding [F2£100] or more than [F3£30,000] [F4, or]"
It does not say £100 must have been paid, but a price has been attached. Also the act says you can claim costs back for any action you take against the debtor.
Personally i'd threaten the credit card company with small claims court. A bank isn't going to attend small claims court for anything less than £500.
I hope this helps someone,

This isn't a complaint........ Metal chassis? As in, not plastic? As in, better detail?

and all this for a price rise of 60% over 5 years ( yes I worked it out ), with new 47s now retailing at full RRp of £152.
Completely agree with you. I sometimes take a step back, look at the models and think "is it really worth that much?"

Who wants to run a decent model with a toy tension lock sticking out the nose?!
100% spot on!
-
Anyone know why the Rails website mentions two BBA packs (of 3 wagons), but then only gives the running numbers for one pack and not the second?
-
I am sure I did read somewhere, years ago, the Eastern entrance was built using cut & cover.

Does the original question stem from the great debate/argument here? http://www.kenthistoryforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1254.0
Or, is it a civil engineering question, along the lines “how were tunnels through chalk (it is chalk isn’t it?) dug in the 1850s?”.
The question is related to the KHF thread, but not entirely......
I have a photo of a tunnel (not at Luton Arches, but nearby and not the air ventilation shaft) and someone working at Amhurst said this tunnel was dug by the railway to remove spoil.
I am trying to ascertain whether they did dig a second tunnel to construct Gillingham tunnel.

You might find this of some initial help, in explaining the route taken and the reasons for the various elevations.
Hi Mike, forgive me if i have missed something, but those minutes seem to discuss more about the original, discarded route under/near Fort Amhurst, rather than the existing route over Luton arches?
Do minutes exist for the construction requirements after they chose the present day route?

Are you referring to the tunnel under Balmoral Road and the station, or the one further towards Chatham that goes under The Lines and comes out onto the viaduct?
One under the Lines

There is a tunnel immediately beyond Gillingham (Kent) station, towards Chatham/London. I'd like to find information how this tunnel was constructed. Given the keywords involved "Gillingham" + "tunnel" I get a lot of spurious results from Google, particularly related to nearby road tunnels and other chaff.
Is there a better way of finding how this tunnel was constructed? Plans/diagrams etc? The line was opened 1858 so I believe the tunnel was dug shortly before.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Any persons who are intimately-acquainted with this particular tunnel, please send me a private message.
Thanks in advance,

The initial ones were in traffic in May 1994 with the main build coming shortly after.
The early build (I think there were only 10 of these) were taller at the sides, https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/bba/e38859ae2
Whilst the later much lower https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/bba/e3c939d87

Thanks! Too late for Railfreight livery then?
Are O gauge models more-robust and detailed than OO?
in 7mm+ modelling
Posted · Edited by faa77
Because O gauge is larger, do the diesel locos (particularly 31, 37, 47, 56, 60) have more detail than OO and are they more robust because the pieces are larger?
It seems like Heljan is the only O gauge loco supplier for the classes I'm interested in?
(I'm thinking of moving from OO gauge because Bachmann models seem so delicate with regards to problems and I think the prices are now too high for what you get)
