I was in Bure valley models today and they still had 5 full sets of coaches available 

Request for help this morning. I acquired a box of part completed wagons a few months ago and dug them out last night with a view to finding out what they are. I managed most of them but there are a few which still elude me. I'd be grateful if anyone else could pin them down:I know I've seen these before. LNWR? By ABS?This is part of a twin but I only have one half. The axleboxes are quite distinctive:Again, part of a twin (I have both of these)with offset axles. These have a cast WM floor as well, not the usual plastic insert:Finally one of two single bolsters which came as a pair.[/quote

 

Hi,Johnathan

The LNWR van, Is F673 lnw d33 8t van as listed in my ABS catalogue.It may have been one of the wagons that was sold to ABS.

Well thanks very much. Are they new? I haven't ever found them before, although I can't recall the last time I searched.Not a terribly helpful photo from Hattons, is it? I gather there are two in maroon and two in the brown 'door to door' livery.

Mick, Baz is right about Frizinghall, the two stands were side by side at Shipley and there was only one bloke taking the money. I had not noticed the containers before at a show.I hadn't noticed them as wagon loads either - I wonder whether that's why Bachmann have never done theirs as a spare?David, I didn't build the trestle wagon, only stripped, repainted it and added some (slightly speculative) detail. It had been painted oxide, which did lead me to question how much the builder knew, but all the pictures/drawings I've seen seem to agree with his construction. That said, all I've found are pictures of models or drawings, so I can't say with any certainty at all that it's right. Peter Tatlow illustrates an older NER version as I'm sure you're aware, which I used as a guide for the bracing plates and bolt holes.

Bachmann type A containers 36-071 in stock at hattons.

Hi John

Thanks Simon.
