shanks522 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 There here, Got to say i'm very impressed indeed, Two things for me are 1, the weight, quite heavy for a small wagon. 2, Close coupling, I haven't got many wagons out the box and seen such a close gap. Well done Farish. Cheers Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygif Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 23 and 14 arrived at work this morning, i do like the coupling mechanism they used. Any one tried T-Cutting the the big numbers off the tops of the flask covers yet? Might just have to get a spare 46 Body from BR-Lines and couple of 1:144 jet ranger helicopters to make the "Massive Clang" diorama!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammstein2609 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I finally received my wagons today after a long weekend of waiting (I was out when the mailman came on Saturday and yesterday the sorting office was closed) Here are a few pics of them sat on my RMWeb 2011 challenge diorama - the reason I ordered the wagons in the first place The wagons are well made and look the part. I can't comment on accuracy though as I have no idea about the real thing. The close coupling mechanism is really well designed and as previous posts state this gives pretty good close coupling.

Coldgunner Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 My #23 arrived today, along with a new toad brake van. Very impressed by them both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted August 30, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 30, 2012 Nice looking wagons. Shame about the numbers on the tops of the flask covers making them suitable for just the last few years. Surely it would have made more sense to leave them off so they'd be more accurate for a longer period of time (decades rather than years). Fingers crossed later batches don't have them. Happy modelling. Steven B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave flint Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Are farish planning on doing drs 20 and 37 to pull these ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDEEDIESEL Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 A standard livery DRS Class 66/4 would also be most welcome as to date Farish have never released one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave flint Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I could see this wagon being a big earner for Farish.....not in itself but in folk buying locos to pull them. I've bought a couple hoping that Bachmann realise folk like me need a couple of 20 and/or 37s.........possibly a 66. I don't want to pay over the odds for a so called limited edition either, but that's another story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted September 24, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2012 A standard livery DRS Class 66/4 would also be most welcome as to date Farish have never released one. Dapol have done 2 standard DRS 66s, though you might have to resort to e*ay to find one! Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy modelling. Steven B. Hi Steven, I bought a flask 23 and removed the number. It has left a slight mark but I did rather rush the removal. I'm still more than happy with mine; I'm sure given some time the numbers would come off and leave a perfect finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Crepello Posted March 31, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2018 I missed out on these when introduced and regret my inaction. To rectify this, I'm hoping to locate one, but I'm not 100% sure which model would be most appropriate for my era, which ends in 1981. Expert advice would be appreciated.

Can’t help with any advice about the real thing but there are at least one each of 377-801 and 377-802 showing as available at: www.addlestone-models.co.uk I’m sure I saw them the last time I was mooching around in there.

The earliest version of them is 377-801, but these weren't built until 1984. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
