NER hopper wagons

They look really good, especially the weathering. Are these kits still available and if so, from whom?

Hi Jon,

They are Slaters kits and are listed on their site here

Hi Jon these kits are Slaters and thank you so much for the compliment

Is this the drawing you're referring to, John?
Can't remember if I sent you a high resolution copy or not. If you have another drawing I'd be pleased to see it.

John

Thanks for the link and can you tell me, what is the date of these wagons?

I believe these were built from 1904 on - I've read somewhere that the LNER built a further 7,000 almost identical wagons .

Hi I know some of you were interested in the drawing for these and as I've been rummaging lately I've found the drawing although I'm sure I got it from Tony (Osgood)
Regards
John

John, it is not the same drawing - the one you just posted looks like a copy of an original NER drawing.

The one I sent you (image in post 20) is an LNER drawing suggesting it represents the later (LNER) build - which looks very much like the NER original (and almost certainly traced from it) but presumably has been amended with the LNER variations (note the N letter is in different position on wagon side).

Cheers,
Tony

These include the new floor tat I'd started that hopefully represents what's on the drawing

I'd very much like a copy of the NE drawing John, to compare with the LNER one.

If anyone would like a copy of the LNE drawing I could get one done.

 

[john lewsey]

Will do

Hi John,

Could I have a copy of the drawing too John? - I have four or five of these kit's in the to do pile - I took a load of photo's of the one at Shildon with the assistance of fellow member Peter Sheils and plan to use my silhouette cutter to cut the drop door details.

 

[john lewsey]

Hi Rob yes of course I've just been looking at your photos as they are on my workbench thread

Just for 7mm Mick I'm also finishing the NER hopper wagons these really are quite impressive wagons in 7mm

Hi all some of you asked for a copy of the drawing I have for these wagons let me know if you are still interested

Hi John,

I don't think I ever received the drawing from you - checked emails and PMs.
If you still have my email I'll be pleased to get a high res. copy.

Tony
