This is all very confusing. I'd quite like to order all items from one place but it seems far from clear what is actually available and what isn't...

Trains4U Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) We've been asked about White with ladders (And as in the images above - no protection panels) We are not planning on offering any further variations. (I think 11 is enough!) If another retailer wishes to order white with ladders and protection panels then they may well do so, but you'll have to wait and see if they announce it or not. To summarise, we are offering: Plain White PGA012W(1) No Ladders or walkways With Protection panels PGA012W(2) No Ladders or walkways No Protection panels PGA012W(3) Ladders and walkways No Protection Panels White with patch PGA012P(1) No Ladders or walkways With Protection panels PGA012P(2) No Ladders or walkways No Protection panels PGA012P(3) Ladders and walkways No Protection Panels Original Redland (Grey Stripe) PGA012OR(1) Ladders and walkways No Protection Panels Redland (Mid size logo) PGA012R(2) Ladders and walkways With Protection Panels PGA012R(3) Ladders and walkways No Protection Panels Redland (Large Logo) - Exclusive livery to Trains4U PGA012LR(A) Ladders and walkways With Protection Panels PGA012LR(B) Ladders and walkways No Protection Panels Edited March 21, 2019 by Trains4U 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike knowles Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Seems they can't get enough of this exhibition lark as they've been out again this weekend at the Carlton Model Railway Society's Show at Howden! Sadly one of them suffered some damage losing the handrail around one of the end walkways but nothing that can't be sorted. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good evening 87029, The white PGAs ran from Mountsorrel to; Radlett, Trowse, Broxbourne, Kennett and Barham, Dowlow to Eggborough PS, Marks Tey-Hayes, and more recently Wembley to Angerstein Wharf and Tolworth sidings to Hoo Junction. Hope that helps. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) When in DB ownership, the white wagons did make the occasional trip to the West country. They have worked to Whatley in place of the more regular RMC JGA or EWS HOA sets. One was dumped for several months in 2015 due to the doors coming open during loading. I believe the set loaded for either Hayes or Hothfield. Definitely a Tarmac location anyway. They seem to load at Cliffe recently, mixed in with ex RMC JGAs. Certainly when I did my research for what ones to buy they were a load there. Jo Edited April 9, 2019 by Steadfast Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
66738 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I’ve seen a picture on Flickr of REDA14791 (1986 built batch Contract 113 according to my Standard Railway Wagon Co Haywood Works book), dated August 1986. It appears to have protection panels. Were this batch built with them? When did earlier built wagons acquire them? Sorry if this has already been covered. 66738 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this has already been covered. 66738 I had overlooked that I haven't posted all of my REDA photos, and also not noticed this late batch. The one photo I have of REDA14795 on 16/4/87 has protection panels. Photos of others also show them at the same time - 14784 but I suspect that may have been from new (c1984 - not what my photo says) https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/redlandpga/e24cfd42e 14782 has the same arrangement but photographed many years later. EArlier wagons with this appear to have been done differently - beneath the stanchions instead of having to remove the end platform, or work around them https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/redlandpga/e4a7f8cb Similarly 14822 had this conversion by November 1988 https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/redlandpga/e33646d3a Paul https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/redlandpga 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too would also be interested as to whether any of the other batches had protection panels from new, or otherwise - it's a bit of a minefield once you start digging around for detail differences between the batches and then trying to date them...

Indeed REDA14781-14786 are type PG009B. I suspect they were not built by The Standard Wagon Co but Procor? Post edited due to error on my part. I’d like Cavalex to produce a wagon from the 1986 batch purely for a nice mix. Fingers crossed. 66738 Edited May 17, 2019 by 66738 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Hi 66738, our Redalnd hopper is REDA 14764 not REDA 14784 as you suggested, that would indeed be in error. The diagram we have is correct. Cheers Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this cannot be correct as it’s the wrong wagon. Even froze a few films on YouTube to double check. What I was seeing was 84 and not 64. I was eventually satisfied it was 84 that I was seeing, after reading Railway Magazine guide to modelling’s review of the model ‘confirming’ it was indeed 14784. So very sorry for this error and indeed am delighted that I am wrong and you and the model are correct. 66738 Would like to show an image of the Railway Magazine but would not want to infringe copyright. https://www.railwaymagazinemodelling.co.uk/2991/whats-in-the-shops-cavalex-models-aims-high-with-redland-pga-wagon-debut/ Edited May 17, 2019 by 66738 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trains4U Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Our stock of LaFarge PGAs are now beginning to run very low. Although we have several new versions of the PGA arriving later in the year, there is no re-run of the LaFarge branded wagon. if you still want any, now is your last chance for the foreseeable future!
