Porcy Mane Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) "William Loud" Must be a livery application error? Surely it should be William Love. Illegitimate son of Joseph Horatio who, out of revenge bought his late fathers Banana Brick Company to turn it's clay pits into a Winter sports emporiorium and experimental cattle insemination unit. https://flic.kr/p/HXMSaw Edited May 20, 2022 by Porcy Mane 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they be removing the square yellow panel to the middle of the wagon as well jenny? Someone here stated that it placed them after the steam era. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone here stated that it placed them after the steam era. :) That's debatable point but I reckon the yellow data panels missed the end of BR steam by a month or two unless any had been applied a bit early. I'm fairly certain that no steam classes were included in the Loads Tables for the new Freight Train Loads system and I didn't go on the course until around August anyway. But an important point is that even at the end of 1968, the year in which data panels were introduced, there were far more wagons around that didn't have them than those which did 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

w124bob Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Freightliner match wagon, anyone found a picture of an ex Palbrick in use, I've been through the Paul Bartlett page but can't find any pictures of a train out on the mainline. It will be interesting to see how the bar coupling from from a Bachmann FGA mates up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they doing both? Also, I seem to recall some hint that there would be loads produced for these wagons, but can't find any confirmation of that. Anybody know? John For anyone making their own brick loads, make sure the load top is below the level of the slots in the sides. These were provided for the forklift tines to lift the plywood sides off the slotted ends. They also stopped the brickworks overloading the wagon! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Isherwood The pictures on KR Models's own website (that appear to be from 1967/68) show black bracing with bauxite bodies Additionally it appears that they have mixed end bracing colours in the packs of 3 models - so some of the bracing is black and some bauxite on the same model (I guess their research found examples of this) Edited November 25, 2022 by 5Dublo2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let KR have it, but it has been misused because they aren't doing that brake rigging and I haven't heard a word from them about the use of the photo in years, despite their advertising removing the copyright. The ends are dirty, you can see they are rail freight red as the number panel has been cleaned and that is the colour the writing is on. When did this black for the model come in, it wasn't shown on earlier photos of the models. Have they modelled the extended headstock of the Freightliner runner? It doesn't look like it. I'm pleased I model in 7mm, 4mm is becoming too expensive! £50..... Paul 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuffed 1 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 A note on pallets for those loading their original-type Palbricks. The pallets would have been what were commonly known as ‘block-Enders’, two-way pallets with boarded top and bottoms as this would have been before pallet trucks and modern four-way ‘standard’ pallets. The idea was that they were unloaded by forklift onto lorries for site delivery, which was the big failing in this design as agricultural-type forklifts didn’t really arrive till the 1970’s and in many cases the labour saved was only at the brickworks end. Too often the bricks were ‘handballed’ onto lorries no differently from off standard high opens, thus negating the whole concept! One of those innovations that hadn’t been fully thought-through, especially when Beeching drastically reduced the number of goods yards. Away from a site with direct rail access they were pretty pointless. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) If VAT is to be added? That makes it £20 per item for an incorrectly liveried wagon. Factor in paint, transfers & time if you care about accuracy. Begins to make Mr. MacDonald's kit all the more attractive. Why do manufacturers make simple errors?
