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

 

C-Rail 20' Bell http://www.c-rail-intermodal.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=25_28&product_id=190

 

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.

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

 

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!
