Our CFMF PCA bulk cement wagon in 4mm must be one of the most popular wagons in our now extensive range of rolling stock among modellers.

Known to our longest-standing followers from our early days, the PCA wagon was one of our earliest hits and has been almost continuously in our range ever since.

However, many who have come to know us more recently will likely have missed out on the liveries from the first run, which have not been repeated - until now, and with something new added too!

We’re bringing back the PCAs in their as-delivered STS grey livery from 1982, now with the addition of the “Sulfacrete” branding on the walkways, along with the “Rugby Cement” rake, again synonymous with the Southern Region in the 1980s.

Built by CFMF of France for wagon leasing company STS, the 50 PCA bulk cement wagons of the PC017B design diagram began entering service in 1982. Numbered STS10600–STS10651, 15 members of the fleet were hired to Rugby Cement for use on workings from Halling Cement Works in Kent to Greenford, Southampton, and possibly Bow Goods and Tilbury Riverside.

Meanwhile, other examples were leased to Blue Circle for use on a number of workings across the network. A further batch of 15 wagons were manufactured in 1985 by another French firm, Fauvet-Girel. Numbered STS74030–STS74044 and assigned design diagram PC017C, these vehicles received Rugby Cement livery and replaced the wagons from the previous batch that had been leased to that company.

As with previous generations of our PCA, our model features spectacular detail, a museum-quality finish, and - in the case of the STS grey models - new running numbers, with fine underframe detail and finely etched steps and walkways where applicable.

Also, just like the first run of the PCAs back in 2018, these packs will be priced at just £69.98 per triple pack, with our usual bundle rake deals, and available only direct from our website. How about that for price-busting, incredible value?

Not only that, but they are also eligible for our famous bundle rake deals, with 10% off when you buy two to four packs, and 15% off five packs or more! With these discounts and inflation taken into account, they’re even better value than ever before!

Oh, and don’t forget free UK postage and packaging on all orders over £50, plus 3% cashback through loyalty points against a future purchase via our website!

The PCAs are perfect for block trains (Rugby Cement and STS grey) or for mixing into Speedlink trains in STS grey livery. They offer great operational flexibility and are a must for any 1980s modeller.
