sixoh8sixoh Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 My pack of 9 arrived last week - they look the part. I never saw the option to order loaded ones, so I’ve got unloaded ones. Would be interested if anyone produces any cast loads or if KR Models offered them as an additional purchase option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted April 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2022 AFAIR loads were an optional extra when ordering from KR Models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hamlin Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Mine arrived this week in New Zealand. Beautiful models, wish I had ordered more than 1 pack now. Hopefully there will be a second run. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, one pack arrived this morning. Did pack 2 ever arrive? Did you ever get a response from KR Models? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxes are pretty flimsy and weren't in any outer protective box, so they were slightly bashed in transit. However the contents look to be intact, and that's all I really care about, need to check properly though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
64F Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 My three packs came last week - 9 wagons and 8 loads. A friend in my MRC bought one pack which arrived a load short too. No doubt KR will send out replacement loads in due course. Other than that small niggle, I'm very happy with them and the price is fantastic value for money by current standards.

My three packs made it to Oz six days after despatch, excellent service. Same problem with one missing load. Contacted Keith by email, he has responded and a pair of loads is on it's way. Quick answer and great service! They go well behind this! Cheers from Oz, Peter C. Edited April 4, 2022 by 45568 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever chap that Keith Revell knowing I was using an O1! Thank you Johndon, I was aware of the fact from following your inspirational threads on the area.

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted April 6, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) It’s a shame that KR didn’t do a single wagon as well for the diesel boys. Wasn’t the load increased to 10 wagons when the Sulzers took over from the 9F’s? Edited April 6, 2022 by Hilux5972 Correction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally, the load was 8 wagons when the trains were pulled by the O1s and Q7s and this was increased to 9 when the 9Fs were introduced. It remained the same for the 24s. Even if the 24s could have handled more which is doubtful, the train length was restricted by the loading and unloading facilities at Tyne Dock and Consett which could handle a maximum of 9 wagons.

Michael Hodgson Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 A better case for a single wagon would presumably by a 1-off going for repairs. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my mistake. I thought it went from 9 to 10 when the 24’s took over. Thanks for the correction. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted April 16, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 16, 2022 Happy to report my Wagons arrived in New Zealand today. Haven’t had a chance to get them out yet so hopefully all loads there. There are stickers on the 3 boxes that say “CHECKED” so should be good. Will report back with some photos. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
