RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted March 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2021 Gents, I had a search but I have not found an answer. Are the instanter couplings fitted cosmetic or functional? Thanks, Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the instanter couplings fitted cosmetic or functional? Designed to be cosmetic, but they are metal and the buffers are sprung, so can function subject to usual radii caveats. HTH!

Coal was moved in block trains of MDVs in South Wales into 1991. cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Emily Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The all new limited edition MDV wagon from Accurascale exclusively for the Monday Club. Orders are being fulfilled by Rails of Sheffield so order with confidence. Model expected later thus year at the same time as the rest of the Accurascale MDO/MDV wagons. The wagon features a prototypically correct livery based on photographs. To this discrete ‘Empty to Wear Yard’ stencil branding has been applied, plus the ‘JK’ logo on one side in the style of a graffiti spray tag. The running number is unique to this release. https://railsofsheffield.com/products/43612/accurascale-jenny_mdv-oo-gauge-jenny-monday-club-exclusive-br-bauxite-mdv-coal-wagon-b312963 4 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
