    Hi Stu Many thanks for the demo at the Cornwall Model Railway Show yesterday. We (Redruth MRC) are very excited at the opportunities that arise from using Modulus. It will significantly reduce our wiring and will make route setting and occupation display so much easier. Andrew

    Bumped into Arran on Par Station this afternoon. I was there to see the RHTT. We don’t have KTAs down here! 😀😀.

    Does it come with the scratch that I made with Mr Parker as we left the shop for a show?

    Brilliant news. These will fit in perfectly with our layout ‘Hoopers Aggregates’. With the Revolution MMA/JNA, the Dapol MJA, JHA and HIA, the Accurascale HYA and the Bachmann HKA (not to mention NR Autoballasters, MRAs and IOAs) we are spoilt for choice.

    A big thumbs up from me. A great organisation to deal with. Their attention to detail and quick responses to queries are a model for others. Their steel wagons are simply delightful!

    Layout waiting for these.

    I have been looking into using my spare 20/3 body. I plan to put this on a spare Lima unpowered chassis. I don’t think that the article in Hornby Mag is correct in stating that 20308 had its DRS logo in the middle position on both sides. Also the 20/3s have 2 different lighting configurations. 20301-5 differ from 20306-20315. I am probably faced with removing the DRS logo on the one side and ‘moving it’ to the correct position (using transfers that I bought on the Shawplan stand many years ago!).

    Hi Fran Being based in St Austell, I see these on a regular basis. The current rake of wagons on the circuit don’t have any EWS branded examples. Great wagon though. We have been waiting for a pucker CDA for many years.

    It’s not Z gauge Dougle - it’s far, far away!!

    We (Redruth MRC) are there with ‘Hoopers Aggregates’. Come and see us ‘Country Mice’ in the Big Smoke!

    We (Redruth MRC) will be at Ally Pally with ‘Hoopers Aggregates’. Although the layout is set in the 2000s, I plan to run a rake of ARC PTAs with a Construction 56 on the Sunday. It will be fun loading them with stone. Looking forward to see you there!

    A few shots of ‘Newvaddon’, our N gauge layout. We (Redruth MRC) are looking forward to going. We always like Bristol.

    Flippin’ fantastic wagons. I have wanted these since I first saw them on fertiliser trains through Cornwall. Great job Revolution.

    The card processing system requires Kernow to initially charge for preorders and then credit back the same amount within a short timeframe. So, in effect, they don’t charge at point of order as the purchaser doesn’t have to settle the bill until the items are in stock and being shipped.

    I too cannot find any photos of ‘Exeter’ in old NSE livery with black window surrounds. Hornby need to correct this.

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you. You have produced some wonderful models and have utilised most of my railway budget in 2021. Looking forward to more in 2022. Best regards, Andrew

    Mine have arrived from Rails. I am a very happy bunny. I have wanted to model decent length steel trains for a long time and these wagons enable me to do this. They are superb. Many thanks to all at Cavalex and Happy Christmas. Andrew

    I have just received a small delivery from Charlie and I am very impressed by the excellent service provided. I am a very happy customer. Andrew

    I have received my replacement body. Many thanks to Bachmann for doing this.

    Hi Mike The backscene was produced from digital film taken from the window of a Paddington bound train. It is superb. The layout is featured in Hornby Mag this month.

    Stretching their legs on ‘Reading to Paddington’ earlier today.

    MRA wagons

    mevaman1 replied to DapolDave's topic in Dapol

    I have recently fitted Hunts to my MRAs. Some were a bit fiddly to fit as the small wire in the MRA pocket needed pushing down with a small screwdriver in order for the coupling to be a tight fit. The couplings make a huge difference as each wagon in a 5 set can be individually placed on the track before coupling up. I have run 2 MRA sets together and the Hunts have performed really well.

    You may just be unlucky. I have 45 Heljan locos and none with any faults. I admit that a very small number arrived with detail parts detached but this was quickly fixed. Andrew
