Clagsniffer Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Looks awesome! So pleased I took the plunge and ordered a rake. Well done chaps, and thanks for sharing the pictures. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Me too - only issue was I planned to mix them in with my Bach BAAs and i'm not so sure they won't make the BAAs look like toys... look amazing M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growling Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 These look super. I too have acquired a handful of BAAs on the cheap so am looking to overrun them in numbers with BBAs. Just need a layout next! Could one of you chaps tell me the specifics of the production run. Are you looking at doing one run or more? I can see I can get 6 different running numbers from Rails but are there going to be other wagons in the run too or is 6 different as good as it gets? Thanks, Rich.

RBE Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hi Rich, I am sure that we will be running further batches of wagons at some point however the liveries and running numbers etc for that have not been finalised at this point. We are still dealing with this run. If you are looking at RF black and red then this batch offers 7 numbers, 6 from Rails in two three packs and one different number direct from us or through other retailers once they land. The running numbers are not really 'in your face' on these wagons anyway though as they are only present in a small font within the wagons data panel.

Just wondering whether to stagger purchases over time to lighten the immediate load. (Not too concerned about running numbers although the variety of different decal combinations on the Rails editions is a nice touch). Hope you are seeing some decent demand for what looks a great model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoey Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) These look incredible! Raising the bar yet again. I’ll be waiting for an EWS variant or weathered ‘brown’ on those BLA’s. Already ordered the weathered brown BBA’s. Edited January 15, 2020 by Shoey 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Good evening, Our January project update is now live on our website - see update here: https://www.cavalexmodels.com/january-2020-update 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hi Alex/Cav, Thanks for the professional update from you guys as always. I’m sad to hear the news on the 91 as it would have been a spectacular project to see a full set in 4mm although good luck with the continuation in 2mm. Anyway onto positive news the BBA, great to hear it will soon be in production, although certainly no rush for it. It really does look superb and I am looking forward to getting the rake to model the Workington trains. It will also suit Newlands Park on Scottish steel flows too when we finally get this out again. Then there will be the Warflats which are such a good choice as well withTrains4U so plenty to look forward to from my point of view. Keep up the great work Thanks Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37501 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hi Alex/ Cav, Are the BBAs still available to pre order please? I have already pre ordered some Railfreight black and red ones from Rails but would also like some plain brown ones. Your website says sold out. Best wishes John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

faa77 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) How prevalent were the BLAs in Railfreight livery? I can't find any pics on Paul's website. I assume they can be used with BBA, BAA and BDA? Edited February 4, 2020 by faa77 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because many of my photo scans date back to the days when a maximum file title was 8 characters and the search works on file names and anything written in the overview/introduction of a collection. Most of the collections date from when there was no broadband so, because of dial up 100kb was a very large file. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
