EFE Rail announce the Imerys JIA China Clay hopper

[njee20]

Yep, as expected. Rail next week with the other Bachmann brands. I reckon a Clay Tiger is very likely.

I am fingers and toes crossed for the Tigers to finally be available in N. I haven't bought JIAs because I don't have a 66 to pull them. Slippery slope buying Sheds....

Tell me about it. I had to start thinning the collection as I seemed to have ended up with 50 of them!

And to think I was lambasted for owning 18 class 33s and a similar number of 73s.

They're arrived at Lostwithiel too!

I picked the lightly weathered versions to use as a base for further weathering - the heavily weathered ones are far too dark in my opinion. The yellow colour on the one end is rather weird, though on mine its not quite as heavily applied as on some.

That's a fair fleet!

Yep! I don't even like them that much, they're just ubiquitous. Still got 30 or so; I've not actually checked!

Hi Ensign Elliott -
Second photo - in front of your matching blue Hunslet, is that a discharge grid for the JIAs? Great idea - and where does that quayside covered conveyor go up to - any chance of a wider view?
Thanks,
