PFA - Contenitori per carbone Cawoods B

Superb models that allow bulk flow or short working modelling.

Get them and the get some more !

From South Wales, the North East and the East Midlands these wagons operated to the North West of England. Accurascale have done an excellent job in recreating them in 4mm scale. Sturdy die-cast chassis with a plastic lightweight container.

well detailed nice weight

So I am a bit surprised that Accurascale thinks that I bought these wagons 18 days ago when it is something in the region of 18 months ago. Must like the stock taking system easily confused!

So the PFA Cawoods Coal Container.... What can be said about it then!
The wagon is good its solid the wagons die-cast chassis is nice and heavy and that is just what the wagon needs. This was one of the earlier products when nothing would be compromised and that really shows in the build quality the wagons dimensions are correct and the body side printing on the chassis is executed well and is legible.

The Cawoods container itself is again executed really well. With the colours and printing showing no fuzzyness just clean crisp tempo printing and the correct shade of yellow for the box. The plastic is very thin and a little fragile but this is like most accurascale products the HUO and JSA Sliding hoods a prime example you just have to look at those and bits fall off in the box! The container tho compaired to the products mentioned even if the plastic is a bit thin is quite sturdy and copes well to being handled and weathers well when attacking it with paints and brushes.

I have given it a 4 start rating as it is a good all round model a cracking 4 wheeler that does what it says on the box.

As with all the accurascale items they are second to none,this first batch is gone but dont miss the re run,if they are for your era you will be sorry.
