Andrew E Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hi! My names Andrew E (yes I see there is already an Andy E!) and I recently got a link to his fabulous thread, tinged with a little nostalgia too - I had a G---RKR Astra as a on call van complete with Motorala Brick... 464 or 454 I think, it had the rattly back seats regardless! Here are a few local one's from my present location, I will see If I can find any others. Cheers Andrew 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merfyn Jones Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Here some pictures taken last month at Southampton Millbrook container depot, trucks were used to move loads from Millbrook to Maritime yards, before new cranes at Maritime. Could this be a last use of the DAF CFs from 2004, they seem to have been replaced en block by the new 2012 XF model. Merf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Maestro. An early use of branding, now quite common for response vehicles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steadfast Posted September 14, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thanks for posting the pics of the Network Rail stuff Andrew... it's inspired me to crack out the tools http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/20276-embankment-road-trsmd/page__st__125&do=findComment&comment=785743 jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merfyn Jones Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 The website of 'Everything but trains' is now up and running. A bit more info on the crew buses as shown in their thread below. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/61281-ford-cargos-leyland-roadrunners-and-br-crew-buses/ It seems that 2 crew buses are now available. The usual 14 seater from 'Everything' in kit form, and a longer one to represent the longer recovery version, one piece, from RTI (Frank Waller) who are also doing the Roadrunner and Cargo cabs. I have tried to order some of each, so look forward to seeing them in the flesh (resin) Merf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EveryThingButTrains Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) The resin one we sell is by RTI as are the cabs. The short 14 seater is only through us is not resin but lasercut. I have tried to order some of each, so look forward to seeing them in the flesh (resin) When you tried to order was there a problem, as we have not had an order from Northwales?

EveryThingButTrains Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Here a few snaps of of very badly painted example, but hopefully show the glazing...this was painted about midnight before the show hence it's a bit of a rush job. The line round the top is a guide to put a piece of micro strip in typically I did not have any instock in time for the show, Steve Edited September 19, 2012 by EveryThingButTrains 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
