RevolutioN to produce OO Gauge TU013A Caustic Soda Tank
Flagman replied to MRDBLUE17's topic in Revolution Trains
Well done to Revolution and Rainbow for producing this fantastic wagon. They arrived very well packed and using APC with tracking is a bonus. The wagons are superb and to me the ECC ones in particular really capture the real thing. Another excellent model to add to a Speedlink service! -
These look fantastic, I would certainly want some and I'm sure plenty of others would too.

I have purchased many items from Colletts and the service is always first class, with update texts and emails from Leigh. Recently got some wagons from him and a few faulty ones had to be returned and again it was sorted very quickly and replacements sent out. Excellent as always.

Freight Trains of the Western Region in the 1980s. Amberley Publishing.
Flagman replied to Rivercider's topic in Books
I have recently purchased the book and although i haven't fully read it yet, it is excellent. I agree with the previous comments about Bridgwater, photos and detailed captions about anything between Bristol and Taunton are always good to see. On the basis on this book I have now ordered 'Railways of the West of England in the 1980s' and 'Railways of the Western Region in the 1970s and 1980s' and although i model late 80s to 93ish, these books will be great for nostalgia as well as inspiration. -
My parcel arrived this morning, very well packed and has already been said, the wagon packaging is very neat. The wagons are superb and have certainly been worth the wait, top marks to Trains4U and Cavalex. These are my 2nd Cavalex product after the excellent BBA and i'm now looking forward to the PHA and CDA.

RevolutioN to produce OO Gauge TU013A Caustic Soda Tank
Flagman replied to MRDBLUE17's topic in Revolution Trains
These look great and i'll be ordering some china clay ones in ECC and the unbranded version. I'm also interested in the chemical traffic to Bridgwater which the Revolution map states as Pan Ocean but were these the ATO version or will it be a livery that may be produced in the future? -
Just found this interesting photo in David Ratcliffes superb book 'BR Air-Braked Wagons In Colour, taken at Hull Docks in July 1992.

Thanks Arran, very useful, i didn't realise IFF went through all those changes but am i right in thinking i still need an earlier version with yellow writing and without the Initial wording?
-
These look fantastic but I'm looking for more info on these containers and operating periods. I model 1989-94 but not sure if these bulktainers were being moved by rail at that time. I know that IFF are an old company and that these containers had the writing in yellow and the United logo prior to this version and the whole container was grey before that. I think UBC were IBC previously so these livery versions may not be right for the early 90s. Again i'm not sure when the Bell ones first appeared but would buy some of all three if the right liveries are produced in the future.

Their last post on Facebook was August last year which implied they were trying to get back to normality but i always bought from them at shows so don't know if they ever had a website. -

I've 10 wagons but have not finished the last couple of loads to test yet but don't think it will be a problem. Each load is approx 40g out of the box and the ballast adds about 10g dependent on how much you add, one of mine is actually 55g. A loaded 20 wagon rake will certainly require some tractive effort but that's what Mendip stone trains are all about! -

I agree that the loads are a bit too flat and i wasn't too keen on the colour but i think they are great value and a ready made platform that can be improved. I added some Attwood Aggregates ballast that i already had and think it makes a vast improvement and really adds something to the superb ARC wagons. -
This layout is fantastic, I've seen some pictures on the PTA thread but i've only just found this and look forward to following progress. This is the era i model and just how i remember it when stopping for a look whilst on the way to Westbury. Unfortunately i didn't take many photos and these examples are not the best quality but are hopefully interesting anyway, taken 13th April 92.
