Hi Richard

 

If you mean the model ones I'll get the camera out tomorrow & post up a few pictures.

 

I only ask as I've been following & contributing to your thread elsewhere

 

Cheers Bill

Hi bill yeah the model one just interested how you did the drain holes on the side and weathering

that be great if you can put some pictures on

Looking good there mate giving me a few ideas for my layout

don't suppose you could put some more picture of the cda up i'm doing my at the mow

Hello everyone progress on the wagon is coming along nicely slowly getting there with each one

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the black square is on the body side of some wagons that i've seen

I'm still interested in the batch of cda numbered 375124 to 375137 so if anyone could help me with pictures of any of them be much thankful

A few picture of 353224 still abit to do i.e weathering and put the drain hole on the side and ends

Handy to no that when i was in the patrolling team at work i did walk down in the yard i seen a few wagons for the reach wagon but didn't take much notice of them now i wish i did and much take my camera abit more next time i'm down there

Thank been working today and seen alot of cda in all different condition keep forgetting the camera all low numbers not sure where the last lot of cda are they some in blazey yard stored will have pop in have a look one day when passing see if there any there

Progress so far i've nearly competed a few wagons when i find out how upload picture i'll put them on here

just ordered some fox transfer stuff for the cda i'm going do work on. going pick a few wagon to do first starting with 353224 then 375130 and 134 from bodmin

Thanks for the info mate that great help

Think I said it earlier, 375000 to 375123 were the original 'new build' production batch, but then there were a few more which I **think** may also have been converts from HAAs - that would account for any HAA details and the chassis/bodies being the other way round on some.

 

So far as I can tell the production batch up to 123 were all built identically. This is a shot from 2001 I found digging through the archives which I **think** is 375130, but the number is hard to make out, it's another one with the body/chassis the wrong way though.

 

 

(Can't tell conclusively from this shot but I think it maybe has the brake gear underneath in HAA style as well?)

Yeah it does look like the breaking gear is underneath i'm really interested in really doing as many different style now

well i wasn't sure weather it was 353224 at bodmin but lucky my dad was there that year and looked at it today. i'm going have fun doing all the different styles of cda. would you no what for transfer pack the number are in for 353224

thank you guys for the picture been a great help keep them coming and i'll get 2 work on them soon

Makes sense if that one at Bodmin wasn't 353224 as it would account for the dissapearance/reappearance of the ladders!

 

 

 

<pedant> It'll be 375075 </pedant> but good catch!

 

That mod isn't exactly common but it's not the only one.

 

375092 also has (at one end)

 

375110 definately has them at one end only - novel!

 

375118...

 

 

All my shots currently online are here - i've some older ones to put back but they will need locating and scanning...

http://ukrailwaypics...6637767_hKW4F3D

 

Most were shot in the mid 00s, there were some interesting livery variants at that time, various combinations of red/blue in framing and hoods, plus some other detail bits like yellow end patches and 'ghosts' of the ECC logo panels.

 

There's some detail shots in there too covering the roof and 'slotted' side, which are respectively rendered rather poorly and not rendered at all on the Hornby model!

 

<edit to correct photo links>

Yeah the Hornby model has inproved just wish they had done the hood abit better but hey can't have everything yeah will be interested in older pictures if you can get some for me.

Thanks will be a great help

Hopefully this is what you're looking for;

 

 

See at Bodmin General on 22/9/96.

 

There's also some informtion on the CDA's here; http://www.ltsv.com/w_profile_030.php

 

Hope this helps.
