The new Farish 20's are BR green, BR blue with headcode box and BR blue with Discs and weathered.

The HEA wagons converted to runners were recoded on TOPS to RNA.

Thy stopped using runner wagons after 1998? They certainly havent used them since 2002. From 1988 on of the FHAC CD class 31s is the allocated pool. I dont have a combine to hand. From 1994/95 things began changing when anything could turn up on it. Ive seen 56004 on the bridgewater flasks in 1996. Then DRS arrived and the 20s reappeared then a mix of 37s 47s 57s and 66s have worked it. A pair of 20s 303/304 worked the berkley-crewe flasks today. First time weve had a pair in years.

Im hoping that Farish do a class 37/6 in DRS too and announce It this year!
It would certainly boost their Nuke Flask sales. Most model shops i have been into have many of these models on the shelves still!

I am out of Peco 15' w.b. chassis (NR-122) which is used under a number of kits, including the Runner unfortunately.

[BernardTPM]

Runners have varied over the years. Those in the picture are 4-wheel container wagons PFA, either the Standard wagon or Procor type at a guess.  C-Rail do a kit for one of the PFA designs. At another time some converted OBAs (with sides removed and brackets on the floor) were used.

I cant say ive ever seen those used on the train ive seen. I wonder if they are more sellafield based because certainly the Bridgewater/Berkley trains havent used barriers since the old RNAs went out of use. Of course im happy to be proved wrong.

The trains pass the bottom of my garden.

Sadly not the bottom of my garden. That is the Oykel or Shin Viaduct. My garden is a hundred plus miles farther south.

Hello again,

I am slowly getting back into working on the layout, but thinking I should try something different to keep the interest up. To that end (and in keeping with this thread), I have been looking at suitable HEAs in the various shops online and then I went to the TPM website....

Mr B, I see the 615 RNA Nuclear runner wagon's are still shown as out of stock, is this a shortage of the chassis still? Any idea when you would get some more in? Oh, and as there etched brass details, how would you recommend securing these (sorry, newbie question!).

[BernardTPM]

Yes, the lack of the Peco chassis is the problem. At the moment I don't know when I'll be getting some more.
For fitting the etched details I'd recommend a small amount of 5-minute epoxy, reinforced with liquid cyano (superglue) that can run into any gaps still unglued to provide a good, firm fitting - the 5-minute enables accurate positioning which is tricky with the instant gluing action cyano can have.
