Has there ever been a RTR nuclear flask wagon produced by the major manufacturers? If so, who made it and when?
I have found a kit (FNA-H Bogie BNFL Flask Wagon Dia 2/536) from a company called Genesis. Who are Genesis and what are their products like?
I seen a great picture of a wagon in the back of January's Model Rail issue 87, advertising the forth coming feature about DRS in February's issue. Naturally I couldn't wait for this months issue, but was fairly dissappointed about the fact it didn't discuss wagons at all. (Not knocking the DRS feature as a whole though, because it was excellent, and close to my heart (actually 1 mile up the road!)
However it did mention that issue 30 April 2001 had a full feature on them. Several other issues had people scratch building them, but thats not for me. Has anybody got the said issue of Model Rail stored away somewhere?
I would most grateful for a copy of page 56! A scan of the page e-mailed or a photocopy posted (I'll pay postage!)
I suppose I could be waiting an eternity for a RTR model from Hornby, Bachmann etc, as it's a very specific bogie well wagon, hauled by only one operator. Saying that though, Model Rail reckons DRS are one of the commonest modern image modelling projects, therefore you would think a flask wagon would be popular? The only other wagons you can haul at the moment is the intermodal stuff, or I've seen photos of small tankers being hauled, but you can't really have DRS locos without a nuclear flask wagon....it just aint right!
On another DRS related note, I always fancied purchasing a DRS Lima class 20 off eBay. What is the Lima model like regarding running qualities and detail
. Never had one, and to be truthfull the DRS liveried model looks quite 'toylike' in appearance....but I need one!
So, any flask wagon information would be great
Thanks
Paul
