justin1985 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Hallo, Forgive this 'basic' question: is this the same type that were in ARC livery? That would be a rake sold to me. Thanks in advance es grüßt pc Unfortunately these are a different batch/design of PGA, and as far as I'm aware, they never appeared in ARC livery. If you scroll through the list of galleries on Paul Bartlett's site you can see all of the different batches of PGA, and each of them has a different hopper shape and different end ladders and walkways. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/poaggregate I think the old Farish model is actually accurate for one of the ARC batches, and with the TPM detailing kit can look very good. But I'm not sure Bernard is supplying the kits anymore ... Justin Edited August 25, 2018 by justin1985 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacathedrale Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I spoke to Bernard a while back and he advised there was a lead time, but they were available in principle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedepot Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 do they come in triple packs (or more)? is there any discount for buying a full rake of them? are you producing any weathered versions? cheers Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going2theDogs Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hi All, I am experiencing problems accessing the Cavalex Models website. Error message simply states 'not found'. Unfortunately (fortunately?) I am not on Facebook. Just looking for an update on the 4mm PGA's. Any feedback most welcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hi the website is currently down due to an update of current projects. We are planning it to be back on over the weekend. As for the 4mm PGAs, they are progressing well. The LaFarge wagons are now complete with the Redland due to be finish in the coming week ready to ship. Just a few of the LaFarge wagons on the rack. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted November 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2018 I spoke to Bernard a while back and he advised there was a lead time, but they were available in principle. Are there any contact details for Bernard as I have a rake of the old Farish PGAs I would like to upgrade using the detailing kit. Alternately, is there anyone on here who has a stash of them in their gloat box they would be willing to move on. Pm me if you can help Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Got my preorder in today, smaller than intended but gone for a few in present day condition to augment some RMC hoppers I've already got. Looking forward to them, based on the 4mm model! Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin1985 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Can anyone provide a bit more guidance about the dates and traffic flows of the various different liveries?

Steadfast Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Can't help with the older stuff, but right up to date a mix of white and white with black boxes are in use on flows in the London area. They seem to load at Cliffe quite a bit, running to places like Tolwoth. Often seen mixed in with ex RMC JGAs. They can on occasion turn up on other Acton based flows, such as the Tarmac trains to Moreton on Lugg and Whatley. You won't see them mixed into a Mendip consist though Jo Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, thats excellent info! Sorry hadn't clocked that there were PDFs there. So for mid-late 1990s into very early 2000s I probably want one or two of the older Redland livery, and mainly the later Redland Justin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBE Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Just a new years reminder. The 2mm PGA is currently open for pre order. If anyone is interested in these wagons it would be prudent to order as we cannot make them without customer support/demand. The pre order discount is in place and will be until the end of february. Visit our website for details. Cheers. Cav Edited January 2, 2019 by RBE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted January 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hello all, I finally tracked down some photos I had been meaning to upload for a while. These show the PGAs on offer from Cavalex in rakes with the JGAs offered RTR by Farish, or in kit form by the NGS, or with the older Farish PGAs which can be tweaked with the TPM kit: Manea -the JGA here is the curved sided type as offered by the NGS in kit form: Same train, this is the Farish type JGA: Whittlesea - with NGS type JGA and two of the older style Farish PGAs behind the leading Cavalex-style PGA: Here is another Redland/Lafarge train at Barway - the short single track section between Ely and Soham. I love the higgledy-piggledy look of the consist - a real break from the uniformity of lots of modern block freight: I hope these provide a bit of inspiration! cheers Ben A. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted January 5, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 5, 2019 I always flash past too quickly to get a photo (and there’s often a 377 in the way!) but there’s often a similar mixed consist at Purley, often more JGA-heavy, exactly what I’m planning to recreate, and a perfect excuse for a small number of the superb looking PGAs.

RBE Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Yes these wagons are pretty versatile in the current scene. Anyway here are a few new renders of the 2mm one to get the tastebuds going. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2019 Mixed rake at Purley again this morning, looks like 6Y58 from Cliffe, mainly JGAs, but about 8 PGAs, including a couple still with Lafarge lettering. The green logo was very faded, but the lettering was very obvious. Others blanked out and some totally blank, so an excuse for 3 different variants!
