Mark Saunders Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 They must have derived it from the Warflats. Just the thing I need to add to my SECR collection. These were the design for the early WWll Warflats and it was updated to the 50 ton version that Bachmann are due to release but not forgetting the Poll that Parkside do as a kit, see Rail Album for more details of all Warflat types!

SDJR7F88 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Excellent news indeed! See they are also listed as in production, according to the main 2018 topic! Will certainly be adding a few few of these to my list, along with the addition of the Robinson ROD. Something tells me I'll soon be building a Transition Siding extension to my 009 WW1 Trench Railway... 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a no then The Ministry of Munitions Parrot and BR one are totally different species as the same can be said of TOPS codes when reissued and some are a catch all generic type!
