Nice wagons, Ian. :D Been looking forward to these for ages. A Blue Circle one would be a brilliant addition if you find time. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Cheers, Dave.

I'll be doing the yellow blue circle Airfix version and any others I can find info on.


But first I'm off to Spain for a week to get sunburned.

I have discovered an error with the presflo.

I did not have a good drawing of this wagon and took the measurements from an Airfix model (which is accurate) and a BR diagram.

I have recently found a drawing of the wagon and found that the hight shown on the BR diagram as the top of the roof fittings was in fact the hight of the hopper body.

I have therefore upgraded the model to increase the hight by 3 inches.

If you have the previous version of the model, simply add version two to your trainset folder and allow the new files to overwrite.

Ian - thats excellent. I used the old version a lot in one of my MidEast activities and now I can include your new version in the updated version of the activity which will appear on the new MidEastPlus CD :) Thanks again.

Glad you like it Laurie.

After reading the Eurobahn thread I was a little bit wary of reading this thread in cases somebody thought it was rubbish.

Not that I care. It's just far too much work to delete all my wagons from the site in a fit of toy throwing.

I'll be doing some private owner versions. I've got photos of Tunnel and Rugby cement wagons.

Has anybody got the transfers for the Airfix/Dapol yellow Blue Circle version that they could scan for me?

Just found an interesting webpage about the presflo.

The description of the accident near the bottom of the page makes interesting reading.
