AlfaZagato Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Here to make the usual gripe of sales price. 30GBP is real steep for a single, small, four-wheeled anything, even given the 'narrow' market. People will still pay, I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you can have the same prototype for a tenner if you join the 009 Society and build a kit. https://009society.com/news/product-category/009-society-products/009-society-kits/?v=79cba1185463 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then buy several more, for much less. I don't doubt for a moment that the Bachmann one will be a quality product, but as you say, there isn't the satisfaction of building your own. I've just finished the society kit, and it is lovely, and I will be adding a couple more in due course! Here it is before any paint went near it!

happyChappy Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Anyone else found that the coupling height on these new RNAD wagons is rather high? Coupling to peco stock is a complete no-no and all my Greenwich couplings seem too low. I'm going to try to lower the NEM coupler pocket with a shim washer placed above the NEM pocket. Rather annoyingly the built-in steel weights and wheels are magnetic so if you use under-track magnets for uncoupling then the lightweight wagon is 'grabbed' by the magnet causing erroneous un-coupling.

Coupling to peco stock is a complete no-no and all my Greenwich couplings seem too low. I don't have any other brand of OO9 product yet but found the Bachmann flat planked wagon won't easily connect to the box van due to a difference in coupler heights. The box van seems to have a lot of downward slop in the coupling whereas the flat wagon seems quite rigid. Other than the couplings, these are cracking little wagons and have tempted me to have a go at OO9. I've just placed an order for several of the RNAD products from Rainbow Railways so I'd better get planning my layout for it all.

TrainMan2001 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Is there a screw holding the NEM socket part of the coupling to the wagon floor? When I got my Quarry Hunslet, I had to adjust the tightness of the screw to get the coupling to the correct height to connect to my wagons (Peco L&B Wagons & Bachmann Slate Wagons). If that's the way the couplings are held on, it might work to adjust the tightness of the screw. When I did my Quarry Hunslet, I had to check a couple of times to get the right height (too low out of box, then tightened a bit too much to make it too high, and had to loosen it a little). Hope this helps! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyChappy Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) No screw holding the NEM pocket just a push-fit plastic pin. There's enough length on the spigot that the pin fits into to allow a 10BA washer to be fitted over the spigot before refitting the NEM socket. Use the appropriate washer thickness to adjust the coupling height. I've had to replace the wheelsets to eliminate the problem of the originals being magnetic and being attracted to under-track uncoupling magnets. Unfortunately, Bachmann wheels, although lovely to look at, have longer axles than Greenwich (or Grafar) non-magnetic wheelsets. Straight swap results in the replacement wheel axles simply falling out of the axle-boxes. A 12BA washer glued on the back of each axle-box reduces the width sufficiently to hold the Greenwich wheels and provide free running. Shame to lose the spoked original wheels but needs must.

RMweb Premium Nile Posted March 18, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2023 Hello happy, could you post some photos of the Bachmann wheels you have removed from the wagon.

Excellent news that Peco have now produced non-magnetic metal spoked wheels. Thanks for that - I'll give them a try. Any idea if the axles are same length as Bachmann? Also photo of my RAF Armaments repainted brake van fitted with additional lead weight. Brake man still to be fitted.

RMweb Premium Nile Posted March 19, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 19, 2023 The new Peco axles are 14.8mm long, about the same as Greenwich ones. How long are the new Bachmann ones? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approximately 16mm point to point. Not surprising that the axleboxes are too far apart for Greenwich wheels. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coline33 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Now have my West Dean table top layout under construction centred around a transhipment shed so have both gauges. Having built a Hunslet diesel for my L&B line (CW RAilways on Kato), it is now the 9mm motive power with the Hornby WD Ruston being that on 16.5mm. With a deficency in model munitions being available, there is a chance of some becoming available to suit 4mm. Also a 4mm ammo depot is on another producer's wish list! Now when will the Bachmann Baguley arrive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coline33 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 There is no comparison between the Bachmann and 009 Society flat wagons, you need both! The Bachmann's have either one or four end planks whilst the 009 Society has 3 end planks. So for two plankers take off the two top planks of the 4 on Bachmann or just the top one on the 009 Society's. I see that the RNAD vans/brakes are no longer available of the Society's website.

coline33 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Have now received two 3D printed kits from "woodworm" on Ebay. One is to easily make 10 pallets which fit nicely as a load on Bachmann flats. The other is to build a wagon loaded with ammunition boxes. The ammo box load is superb and again fits nicely on Bachmann flats. The wagon itself is generic and similar to Peco N-119 without braking! These kits are so inexpensive one can afford to load a long train!. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coline33 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 If you want to just have the ammo boxes mentioned above, just email the seller 'woodworm2014' on Ebay who can made these available without the wagon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
