Lowlander Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 The first wash of Mig rust brushed on and then rubbed off again using a cotton bud and some ipa. I've left the decks untouched as one of the 3d printer lads has hinted at producing sleeper loads😊 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
66738 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Very happy with Salmon wagons now. A comparison picture of the 20mm difference between both the ‘shortie’ and the Correct length. 66738 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 And Flangeway added to the (tbh fairly extensive) list of companies that do the right thing by their customers, sorting the issues. I’ll definitely be buying from them again. Just hope that they didn’t lose out financially on the error as it sounded like it wasn’t their doing. 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyddrail Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Should have added this pic to show flat top version, and typical version of of wood added for track panel loading. In Tonbridge West Yard on 22-7-90. Cheers. 7 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCML100 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Sorry if this is a silly question? But are the newer present day offerings available yet (ASF bogies)? Or have i missed the boat? Thanks 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungrange Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I don't think the ASF bogie versions have been released yet. If they have and have sold out, then I'm another eager purchaser who has missed them. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Barnett Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 We are awaiting for the comments to be actioned on the ASF bogie in China. We had hoped for a winter release, but it's looking more like spring/summer now. 6 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there’s been a bit of strain on Chinese manufacturing with Covid and power shortages. With Chinese New Year behind us, do we have any updates on how they are progressing?

Lyddrail Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Andy, I am not sure if the wood are sleepers, they look a bit larger to me, but there are likely variations of these beams. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted March 1, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2023 Without any empirical evidence, and MK1 eyeball, I've gone with crossing timbers for the long baulks, as these would be readily available in house to some degree, with the cross baulks being the same sliced in half longitudinally.

RMweb Premium Ncarter2 Posted March 1, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2023 I’m sure I recall old joint bearers and reclaimed S&C bearers being used. Some of them even had chair indentations. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
