They did look short on the pre production sample but KR did say they are aware of it but now they are in peoples hands we should get reports if it’s an issue or not on our train set curves.

Clagsniffer Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Pleased to say my wagons have arrived safe and sound! Pretty sure I ordered mine complete with wagon loads but no loads have been included, are these following on at a later date? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packs A, B and C arrived today. The coupling is body mounted and is the type that extends forwards when it swings - as it were.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 18, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Mine arrived. I think the wagons are a good job, packaging feels a little basic, but the contents are fine. Edited March 31, 2022 by adb968008 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The face of the tension locks are about 2mm beyond the buffers. The couplings are kinematic type so should not be a problem on pulling. On pushing there is a 1mm clearance when going around 3rd radius curves. Sorry - do not have 2nd radius. Models are great and packed well. Only issue ( small one) is the hooks in the tension locks are too loose (lateral direction) so coupling up properly (without manual intervention) is pot luck. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not limited to KR though. I’ve had several models from many suppliers that have loose hooks on the tension locks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorz101uk Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Just arrived by RM, Lovely model, just word of warning, I’ve had a couple of screws dropped out due to them not being screwed in enough. Don’t screw them too tight because bogie will not move 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coupling problem might be solved by Kadees but it might be better to use bar couplings, such as supplied by Bachmann. Semi-permanent couplings might be acceptable as it’s a fixed formation train.

johndon Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Spotted a full set of 9 of these on eBay last week at 25% off the RRP so couldn't resist. I'll admit to being a vocal critic of the early engineering prototypes that KR showed but I'm pleased that they listened to the feedback, especially re the interior of the wagons. The wagons scale exactly to the Dave Bradwell kit versions that I have. One or two parts are bit 'chunky' and there are still a number of small inaccuracies on the wagons but I'll admit that you'd have to know the real things very well indeed to spot them. I've shown the wagons to some other modellers who know the prototype as well as I do and we are all in agreement that, overall, KR have done a very good job indeed with these so hats off to them. 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
