C rail bell containers

[Train model]

Does anyone know what chassis I can use for c. Rails 20ft bell wagons

I think if everything was on the table, getting orders wont be too hard - tho 2.5k is a large order for a small market

[scahalane]

If the cost and quality was good I'd take about 50 to start with, probably more over time.

[Tarabuses]

I'll certainly take some.

Perhaps Arran would like to start a new, dedicated thread with the details, and we can gather comments and level of interest?

Hi all thank you for keeping this going I taught I might mention that I got a wagon for a present I don't know who made it but it is the same

size as the c rail bell and it is on a dapol chassis so it looks like it is there all ready

Any update on RTR options for container flat wagons suitable for 20ft Bell containers?

Patrick's recent layout post showed how well 20ft Bells can look on SWB wagons. I have no interest in kits. Bell containers seem to be able to span multiple eras for Irish goods trains. Looking at some old youtube footage it didn't seem uncommon to see a goods train with a mix of vans, open wagons and Bells in the one formation.

Fab scene of 20ft wagons snaking into the station area looks so realistic.

I think that this is what you're looking for?

The Bell container isn't the DC kits / C Rails one, but an earlier MIR one. I assure you that it carries the later container just as well - I just didn't have one of mine to hand when I took the photo!

 

Our kit is of the 27000 series, 1970-built skeleton flat. The earlier 1966 flat had a steel floor.

 

If you want a rake, e-mail me and I'll "do you a price" - Her Majesty's postage on single kits to Euroland is criminal, but you can send several for much the same cost.

 

Or, you can wait to the Blackrock exhibition in the Autumn, when postage won't be an issue and I'll price it accordingly for the exhibition.

PS, I don't think anyone will have too much trouble with the kit - about a dozen parts!
